What is the furthest north you have ever been? I once worked in Lake Louise, Alberta. I think

[applegrove]

the sun went down at around 11PM during the summers.

1. Wasilla, Alaska nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Just over the Arctic Circle, in Iceland, last summer.

Oddly enough, that day was one of the prettiest, sunniest days we had!

[greendog]

3. Inuvik, NWT

[applegrove]

8. Ding Ding Ding Ding - WINNER!

[Major Nikon]

4. Thule, Greenland

[fizzgig]

5. i flew over greenland when i was coming back from london years ago

but if we're talking about physically visiting, it would be inverness, scotland.

[madinmaryland]

6. Denali National Park in Alaska. nt

[dimbear]

31. Likewise. My truck never recovered from that trip. n/t

[Art_from_Ark]

35. I gave up about 50 miles south of Denali

Distances in Alaska were vaster than I had thought, and I ended up not having enough time to make it all the way.

7. Iceland

I had a Studebaker that was Lake Louise blue.

[siligut]

13. Isn't that the most beautiful blue?

I was astounded by Lake Louise.

[applegrove]

17. I spent a summer living right below the big beehive in the mountains above. At a tea house. Saw

that blue every single day. It doesn't get old. It is the glacial flour (rocks rubbed by glaciers until they make a soft powder) that makes it so pastel.

9. Green Bay

Saw the Bears beat the Pack in back to back years 10 or so years ago. The first one was the weekend after Sweetness passed and Brian Robinson blocked a field goal to win the game. It was fucking awesome.

[raccoon]

10. Churchill, Manitoba. nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Scotland.

[cloudbase]

12. Valdez

Alaska

[caraher]

14. Liverpool, England

It's easy to forget how far north Europe is relative to the US...

[femmocrat]

15. Portland, Maine. n/t

[sarge43]

16. Flew the polar route several times. n/t

[alphafemale]

18. errr....Cedar Point?

Or Tacoma. I've also been to Tacoma.

[treestar]

19. London

I was amazed when it started to get dark at 3:30 p.m.

[LeftishBrit]

20. I spent some months in Edmonton, Alberta as a child...

and I remember visiting Lake Louise.

Overall, my memories of Edmonton are more of how cold and dark it was in the winter, than of the long summer days. At least, I got to be really good at understanding negative numbers: much of the wintertime conversation was about how many degrees it was below zero. Brits have the opportunity for lots of conversations about rain, but not so much about below-zero temperatures!

[LeftishBrit]

21. I think the furthest north I've been is Oslo, Norway

I love it there, but have never gone there in the winter.

[Brickbat]

22. Places in Karelia, about at the same latitude as Anchorage, AK.

[jpak]

23. 80 o N near Ellesmere Island

[steve2470]

24. Barrow, Alaska: 71 degrees N latitude nt

[benld74]

25. Beijing, China

[Sisaruus]

26. Lapland region of Finland

Inside the Arctic Circle. It's actually one of my favorite vacation destinations.

27. Whitehorse, Yukon Territory

It never really got dark in July.

[Tobin S.]

28. Edmonton, Alberta in my duties as a long haul trucker.

It's damn flat up that way and I was there in the winter so it was also damn white, but I found the farmland of the central Canadian plains to be strangely beautiful despite that. The it was on to Vancouver, BC and boy was I in for a treat.

[CBHagman]

29. Gothenburg, Sweden.

Also, I got off the plane during a stopover in Reykjavik.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

30. I had to check on a map to see which was farther north, but

it's Iceland. The second was my ancestor's home island just north of Trondheim, Norway.

In Trondheim, it never got dark in mid July.

By the time I reached Iceland, it was August, so the son went down shortly before midnight.

[Homer Wells]

32. Esther, Alaska

The home of the Malamute Saloon and the Cripple Creek Dining Room

[RZM]

33. Karelia, in Northern Russia

I jumped in a river in the dead of Summer. It was really damn cold.

[Renew Deal]

34. I have been on flights from Europe that have gone near Greenland

But on the ground, Seattle.
