What is the most south you have been? For me, it was Hawaii. 1975 I believe.
 
In 1983, I went through the Strait of Magellan on my submarine, the USS George Washington, reaching 54 degrees south latitude. We transited the Strait on the surface and from west to east.

The farthest north I have traveled is Fairbanks, Alaska, which is about 65 degrees north latitude.

Buenos Aires, Argentina in March 2010. Nice city.
 
Antarctica, Palmer Peninsula, around 65 degrees south.

Farthest north 80 degrees north just west of Svalbard. Also crossed Northwest Passage but probably never passed 75 degrees north.

Wow, I never really thought about this before. Maybe New Zealand's South Island, south of Christchurch. :)
 
Fiji, I think.

Farthest North - Denali NP - 63° north.

Farthest south -- Rarotonga in the Cook Islands, but I hope to get to Antarctica in the next few years.

Farthest north -- Deadhorse, Alaska.

I may try to volunteer at some science mission in Antartica when I retire. That's the only continent I haven't visited yet.
 
Furthest South-Paradise Bay, Antarctica
Furthest North-Point Barrow Alaska
BTW, Gumby I sailed On the George Washington in 1962 out of Dunoon Scotland
 
Rio. I got an e-mail from Continental Airlines in 2000 offering travel on their new nonstop from Newark (then our home airport) to Rio for 17,500 OnePass miles per person. DH and I were just dating at the time and we grabbed it. They never made the offer again. I still treasure the H. Stern bracelet I got there.
 
South - Punta Arenas, Chile (along the Straight of Magellan)
North - Fairbanks
 
Cape Agulhas, South Africa. 34 degrees 50 minutes 00 seconds S. As far south as you can get in Africa. Was a hot, sunny day and my mate and I were the only one's there.
 
South - Slope Point, New Zealand - southernmost point on the South Island
North - Edinburgh
