@kate_frankie A1: Cape Point of South Africa is the furthest south I’ve visited (altho its been debated if its true southernmost point of Africa)
North no extreme really - I don’t like the cold 😂 #pttravel
kate_frankie
replying to @Txiki_Tales @Txiki_Tales Helsinki is a good place to add to my list. Still a lot around that area I haven't managed to get to yet. Would you recommend? #PTTravel

The Norway fjords were an amazing place to visit. https://t.co/WCUABfX1xf So much to see and do. Truly worthy of being on your travel wish list! #PTTravel

@kate_frankie I need to keep checking where Iceland is. It's further south than I imagine, but also there's a lot of Scandinavia north of it.
Fun fact, Greenland is further north, south, east, and west than Iceland :p #pttravel

Q2 Where is the lowest or highest place you've been to and what was it like there?

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1 #PTTravel The northern most place I have been to in all of my travels is Oxford University!

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie It was very cold (more later) and expensive but definitely worth a visit. #pttravel

#pttravel Greenland question, btw. Do you think it is somewhere best seen in summer (the cultural history, the midnight sun), or winter (all things snow)?

replying to @JKatzaman @JKatzaman Alaska must be huge. In my mind it doesn't go up that far 😆 I'd love to visit. I've never heard a bad thing yet. Were you in the military then? #PTTravel

A2 #pttravel I remember Rocky Mtn National Park. I got out of the car at 12000 ft & lost my breath. The lowest point probably Death Valley, quite hot.

#pttravel Lowest was the Dead Sea ... tip from one of the ladies in the party ... DO NOT shave your legs the night before! 🤣

@kate_frankie Hi everyone! #PTTravel
The furthest Norrh would be Greenland and I absolutely loved it!

@kate_frankie #pttravel A2: lowest place: the shores of the Dead Sea, Jordan.
Highest place: an unnamed mountain ridge overlooking a small village (possibly in Songpan region) in Sichuan province, China, at just under 4000m.

A1 #pttravel Ok North is off the coast of Husavik in Iceland - it was really quite horrible weather for a boat trip!
South is a toss up between Durban in S Africa and Buenos Aires in Argentina - bit I don't have any photos of Durban.

A2 Man-made but the views from the viewing floors (note I didn't say top) of the Burj Khalifa are pretty spectacular and a little disconcerting - the tower you can see is the Address Hotel which in itself is 63 storeys #PTTravel
NomadKeith
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @JKatzaman #pttravel It is! I heard the Alaskans were threatening to divide it into two, and make Texas the third largest state! 😃
