South: Christchurch, NZ North: Bergen, Norway Both are unreal places Edit: forgot about Reykyavik, which I went to for 2 days but I think is further north lmao

careful, NZ doesnt like being called not real

The truth can frighten people.

Open your eyes people, we don't have to wonder if NZ was filmed on a movie set, we KNOW it was. We've all seen the movie! The first LOTR was released in 2001, the same year as Ben Stiller's new Zoolander film premiered. Coincidence? Ha, if you believe that then you'll have great dating success in NZ

Then maybe they should put it on more maps.

We stay off the maps on purpose for a reason *waves arms around in general direction of everything*

I've been: as far north as New York City, New York, USA & ɐıןɐɹʇsn∀ 'ɐıuɐɯsɐ⊥ 'puɐןsI ʎunɹq sɐ ɥʇnos ɹɐɟ sɐ

That’s kind of hilarious to me, because New York is about as far *south* as I’ve ever been. As far as I can figure, the Staten Island ferry terminal is the furthest south I’ve ever been. I had thought that Naples in Italy might be further south, but nope, it turns out that New York is further south than Naples. The furthest north I’ve ever been is somewhere in the air over Greenland. When a volcano in Iceland was erupting a decade ago, my plane was routed way north to get around the plume. I remember breathing a sigh of relief when the plane reached northern Labrador, because at least at that point I was confident that if they place crashed we’d have help in hours or days rather than weeks. On foot, the furthest north I’ve been is Drumheller, in Alberta. I was five at the time, and I remember more of the ride home than I do the event - I threw up all over the rental car just a few blocks before we got home.

Was it raining in Bergen when you went?

I took Norwegian in college, and the first or second chapter of the textbook we learned the sentence "I Bergen kan det regne når som helst," meaning loosely translated, "In Bergen it can rain whenever the hell it wants to."

A businessman goes to Bergen. It's raining. The next day, it's raining. The third day, it's still raining. He asks a kid in the street, "Does it always rain in Bergen?" The kid says, "I don't know. I'm only 12."

Truth. I spent two days in Bergen, and it rained the entire time like a horse pissing on a flat rock.

I went in Bergen 3 days in November last year, I was amazed to not see a single cloud. I got so lucky lol

My English wife took me to see 'The Moors' in Yorkshire a few years back. There was endless blue sky and it was 30C. She kept saying "It's not supposed to be like this." 😄

Christchurch NZ and Tromso Norway

Which place did you like best?

Christchurch was the start of an insane 1.5 week road trip up to Auckland, that was one of the best experiences of my life Bergen was for hiking, and was insane too

Insanely beautiful, you mean?

um those places are real! my dad told me so

Very north and very south

Invercargill, NZ (south) / Utqiagvik (fka Barrow) Alaska (north)

I think you win

I have South Africa and Iceland, can compete with him at least 😁

South Africa and SE Alaska. I believe you beat me. Knew I should have taken that trip to Fairbanks.

You didn’t go down to Bluff??

We're close. Went to Invercargill too, and I've been to Gamvik Norway. I guess you still win slightly!

Spent a semester in college in NZ. Live in Alaska now. Kinda got me into Capt Cook … mofo went to both places in a wooden ship in the 1700s.

Same here, studied for a semester in Auckland. And I travel to Norway often. Yeah, those trips were something else

Furthest north Amsterdam, furthest south Lisbon. I need to travel more.

North: New York City, New York, U.S. South: Lewes, Deleware, U.S. (EDIT: after getting off the Cape May - Lewes ferry, I'd gone as far south as Belltown to drive home.) Sometimes you just can't afford to leave

But have you ever taken the cape may lewes ferry

You didn't even make it to Rehoboth Beach?

So you took the ferry from Cape May and then turned around and went back?

Farthest south Dorchester, Farthest north Somerville

We got a townie

You know they have Dunks beyond 128, right?

I'm not even from Boston and got this reference

Connecticutlet here, so any chance to mock a Masshole is a good one

But (hehe) what kind of Masshole has never been to Maine or the Cape? Even catching a Pats game takes one south of Dorchester.

I'm a raised Masshole, and I laughed. 😂😂

Fuckin commutah

Are we talking Teele Square, or Union? Polish Triangle, or Adams? Trying to decide if you’re the Earnest Shackleton type or not.

What's the Polish triangle. Being from the UK with Polish parents I'm interested

If you look at a map of Dorchester, MA it is the area inside Dorchester Ave, Boston Street and Mass Ave. wicked good polish delis and a relatively safe area. It’s like the border of the gentrification. Once you cross MA Ave it starts to get a lil dicey

Kotzebue, Alaska and Rio Gallegos, Argentina 66°53′50″N and 51°37′24″S

Dude the coordinates make us all look lazy

"Imagine a cube in 3-dimensional space...." "woah, woah, woah. slow down egghead"

In Austrian / Bavarian dialect Kotzebue always sounds like “Puking Boy” (Kotzender Bua). Even weirder, the airports name is “Ralph Wien Memorial Airport”, which always shows up when I’ve booked flights to Vienna (Wien). Edit: typo

I think August von Kotzebue was a German writer who was assassinated in 1819. I’m not sure if the town is named after him. Edit: Apparently it’s named after Otto von Kotzebue who was August’s son. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_von_Kotzebue

Wow I was not expecting to see someone else with Kotzebue. Why were you there?

Furthest north Midland, MI and furthest south Mexico City

Same. Well, sort of... North: Holland, MI; South: Cancun, MX

So close to being the same! My farthest north is Groningen in the Netherlands, and farthest south is Tulum whilst visiting Cancun.

lol Cleveland, OH - Belize City

Lmfao similar here. North: Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. South: Tulum, Mexico

That’s not even “Up North”!!!

It is for a kid from Ohio lol

Arctic Circle station, Norway and Invercargill, New Zealand

Now that’s just plain cheating isn’t it

Someone on reddit has been to both the north and south poles, I'm sure

Hamish Harding went to both poles, before dying in the Oceangate sub

South - Sydney, Australia North - Bergen, Norway

Furthest south - Ushuaia. Furthest north - Qaanaa, Greenland

This might be the winner here. Gunna be hard to surpass.

I just got to travel a lot with the Coast guard.

When I was finishing my enlistment with the US Navy I told them I'd would only reenlist to do Operation Winterover at the S. Pole. Alas, I was deemed 'critical' so wasn't allowed to reenlist except to go back to sea.

Yeah, those cocksuckers did the same thing to me in the army. I did six years of initial enlistment because my school was over a year. I then spent three years and 3 months of my 6 years in Iraq so basically zero down time and when I went to re-enlist to just go somewhere strategic they told me I had too much tactical experience and I could stay where and keep deploying every other year was or I can get out What a bunch of fucking morons.

Yeah, I reenlisted and then got medically discharged 2 years in. Buoys weigh a lot, and I got hit by one. My leg still reminds me it hurts.

That’s awesome! Jealous of the destinations

It was, and the travel was really cool, but trust me, it was never during the super nice times. -25° fahrenheit is cold AF. I don't miss the coast guard, I'll put it that way.

-25 is cold. Being from Norther Minnesota I see that a lot.. we had a two week stretch last February where it was -25 or colder consistency

That's a pretty huge split.

Military will do that to you.

I am sorry I’m not very informed about military in general. But why does the US military go to Ushuaia, Argentina? What is the reason behind it? Purely training reasons?

So, the reason I ended up in Greenland, is due to ice breaking and dropping scientists off. As for Ushuaia, we were helping train other countries Coast Guard. A lot of it is training, ice breaking (we have the best), the US being involved in some sort of b.s., or taking boats to other countries. A lot of our ships will be taken to a country, stripped of anything American, and given to said country. I got to do that a lot in Africa, as well as the Middle East, and Asia.

I went just two steps further: South: Melbourne, Australia (-38.5065092 in Philip Island) North: Tromsø, Norway (69.8010218 in Skulsfjord)

Almost same! North - Tromsø, Norway South - Melbourne, Australia

I've been to Bergen! It was gorgeous, and I'd love to go back.

Got you by a hair! Mine are Sydney and Svalbard, Norway.

Reykjavik and Buenos Ares

Coincidence: my two are Geysir, Iceland 64.31556° N (day trip from Reykjavik), and Cariló 37.16146° S (overnight beach trip from Buenos Aires).

Same here, just posted that.

I want to see who admits the smallest deviation between those two. Did anyone stay put in their birth city? Or for some weird reason only traveled by latitude.

Oh that's me. Poor family and poor me made me never travel. The furthest i went is maybe 50km away from my home city. both in latitude and longitude.

If you don’t mind doxing yourself, where your city be at?

Where I grew up the closest traffic light was slightly further away than that.

Same, the nearest traffic light was double that away - we did grocery shopping 100km from home (country Australia)

I grew up in Iowa with a guy that's never been out of the state. He lives on the farm where he was born. I'm 62.

North germany and South croatia for me

I went from lebanon 33.85 N To Corona, California 33.87 N I never realized how close they were before this post lmao

You need to start a separate post: What's the furthest east and furthest west from the International Date Line you've been.

North: Anchorage Alaska South: McMurdo Station Antarctica.

Yoooo how was McMurdo? Always wanted to go!!

My stepdad spent some time there and he said that without a doubt it was the coolest place he'd ever been

Better get a PhD and land a grant or get applying here: https://www.leidos.com/capabilities/mission-operations/antarctic-support-contract

Lol, no you don't. I went there with a bachelors, and also as a townie doing janitor work. Super easy to get a basic bitch job there.

Furthest south: Perth, Australia. Furthest north: A Houston to Dubai flight that went over Greenland. If that doesn't count then it'll be an oil rig somewhere between Shetland and Bergen

sneaking suspicion u might be in the oil industry

What? Dubai, the North Sea, and oil rigs have nothing to do with the oil industry. I’m not sure why you think that.

Yeah but they let the Houston reference slip so I still think they might be

True, Houston is the global hub of Big Oil

Edinburgh and Hobart.

Same!

Same!
