I love to travel. Even so, I still haven't managed to get out of North America; the closest I've come is the island of Curaçao, about 25 miles north of the Venezuelan coast. Interestingly, three of the four compass point extremes are located on islands.
Here are my current geographic extremes:

As it turns out, this was in error. I was in Vancouver two years prior to this, and all of Vancouver is north of the 49th parallel. I have posted a newer version of this page, dated September 25, 2015.
