I've always wondered about that.
As in how far you guys in England, Ireland and Scotland are from the North Pole.
I always thought that you guys were closer to it, than say we were to the South Pole?
We are. By my reckoning, even Stewart Island barely makes 47 degrees S. If you transpose that to 47 deg. N., you end up just south of the Loire Valley in France, or about level with Quebec City, Canada for our North American readership.
Auckland at around 37 deg. S. would equate to southern Spain or Richmond, Va. in the northern hemisphere.
