300 miles from the Artic circle, while working on fishing boats in Alaska in the 80's.

@LadyGrace My favorite job on the boat was painting the railing. It was very peaceful. Hours with a paint brush in my hand, looking out over ice floes, snow covered mountains in the distance. I saw walruses and whales.

@badminton OMGOSH!!! HOW COOL!!!!
LadyGrace · 70-79
@badminton That is so great. It brings back so many memories when I was in Alaska and had so many adventures.
Far north enough that you can sometimes see the Aurora Borealis.

Every time I'm up there, it's a surreal experience. Always something wonderous, and unexpected.
It was so cold one evening, watching stars, I caught what looked like tiny shards of glass shimmering around me.
They were facets of ice crystals, not snow, shimmering like a rainbow in the air.

@SethGreene531 Ahhhh the Northern Lights... sooo beautiful. Loved the way you described it. 💙
@Lilymoon They are just incredible, aren't they? Out of this world.

Thank you 💙☺️ !
LadyGrace · 70-79

@Degbeme you should've popped by 😘
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@SW-User Well! Had I known.. ☺️
JustNik · 51-55, F
Fargo, North Dakota. Which I thought was blah. I would like to head up north more toward the eastern Minnesota/Wisconsin border though. Just preferably in the fall. 😄
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@JustNik hmmm... very close to the Canadian border. 🤔 Must contact border services. 🤭
Lilymoon · F
@JustNik Fargo does sound blah. 😆
JustNik · 51-55, F
@Degbeme 😇😂
Canuckle · 51-55, M
I should post my Arctic Circle certificate.

I’ve been to where no trees grow,
sun never sets,
light appears only in the horizon,
temperatures cold but hearts so warm,
people sharing all they can give, and
a beautiful glow dances across the sky.

I will go further north some day, but will I make it past Resolute Bay
Lilymoon · F
@Canuckle Wow... that is awesome. so peaceful looking
Canuckle · 51-55, M
@Lilymoon did you see the polar bear on the shore. I only have a few of them from my travels. Have a great day!
Lilymoon · F
@Canuckle Yeah that's the first thing I saw. Great pic. You too!

Lilymoon · F

Degbeme · 70-79, M

Degbeme · 70-79, M

🤔 North of Seattle about 150 miles from the Canadian Border.

For all you who are freezing 🥶 today.
Right now it's 76° and my Air Conditioner is on. Forecast high is for 83° @ 2pm.

Come on down to South Louisiana 🐊🥳🎉 Mardi Gras Parades and all the Festivities are starting up!

Skagway, Alaska
Nelladell · 80-89, F
Just Seattle.
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
Somewhere over the Arctic. I was on a flight from Texas to Korea. The airport at Inchon itself was worth it.
Lilymoon · F
@Crazywaterspring where is Inchon?
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
@Lilymoon Korea. We flew in and left at night. Korea is lit up. The ocean is lit up. China is lit up. The dark area is North Korea. Creepy.
Lilymoon · F
WindTherapy · 56-60, M
To the Canadian border fishing the lakes of northern Minnesota. (But I had to check a map when another poster mentioned Seattle as I'd been there too)
Moose hunting 5 times north of the Artic Circle.....Brooks Range
, Alaska.
Lilymoon · F
@Lilymoon Why sad face? I kept about 200# of meat each time and donated the rest to the local Inuit villages for the benefit of the old and disabled. That's about 600# pounds of meat each time.......not counting bones. That goes a long ways to getting people thru a hard winter in those villages that can no longer hunt.
Lilymoon · F
@anythingoes477 yeah that's cool....I just felt bad for the moosies 😁
I think the furthest North I've ever been would have been Thunder Bay haha
Lilymoon · F
@MrBlueGuy Sault Ste Marie? Wawa? North Bay? 😁
@Lilymoon I passed through all of those xD I had an uncle that lived in North Bay he worked on the military base
Lilymoon · F
@MrBlueGuy Yeah I was there once in the summer... I'd like to move there but it's too cold.
Harriet03 · 41-45, F
I get a nose bleed, north of the Watford Gap!
GBPackersFan · 41-45, M
Beautiful Green Bay, Wisconsin to watch the Packers play football at Lambeau Field… aka The Frozen Tundra! ❤️🏈
Lilymoon · F
@GBPackersFan nice 😁
DragonFruit · 61-69, M
Interestingly, it's Paris, France...which is farther North than any of the places that I've been in Canada.
Lilymoon · F
@DragonFruit I'd like to visit France one day
aldnazmeister · 56-60, M
Silverwood Theme Park close to Athol, Idaho; which is about 76 miles from the Canadian border.
Lumberjack70 · 56-60, M
A couple hours north of Watson Lake. How about you?
Lilymoon · F
@Lumberjack70 Whitehorse... Watson Lake is the Yukon right?
Lumberjack70 · 56-60, M
@Lilymoon yes it is. I was fighting forest fires. I hear Whitehorse is pretty cool.
Lilymoon · F
@Lumberjack70 Oh wow. cool... and yeah I was there as a kid. It was beautiful.
Pfuzylogic · M
Not sure which is more North, either Southern Canada or northern Germany.
Lilymoon · F
Pfuzylogic · M
@Lilymoon
Two different continents. I would have to check the different latitudes an a map. Now the most southern is easy. I was south of the equator on Diego Garcia although I did stop by in Malaysia.
SW-User
Either Jasper in Canada or Dunnet Head in Scotland (most northerly point of UK), whichever is further north.
LunarOrbit · 56-60, M
@Lilymoon I’ve only been thru North Bay years ago. Heard its a nice town.

@LunarOrbit it's a great town... I still remember the fish and chips. Best I've ever had. 😁
sciguy18 · M
Was going to say Quebec City, then I realized parts of Minnesota are farther north...
LunarOrbit · 56-60, M
Hearst Ontario.
Lilymoon · F
@LunarOrbit is that near Thunder Bay?
LunarOrbit · 56-60, M
@Lilymoon Its further north than Thunder Bay. Middle of nowhere. Cold as hell in winter. Bugs from hell in spring.
Lilymoon · F
@LunarOrbit yeah it's freezing up there.
Furthest I've been is North Bay.
