38 significant towns and villages north of 64 degrees north latitude in Greenland alone, and
another 34 in Alaska.
Longyearbyen has the highest latitude and elevation of any city in the world. Its latitude is 78.2186 degrees North with an elevation of 653 feet above sea level. Moscow, Vilnius, Minsk, and Edmonton also have both high latitude and elevation.
The starting point for measuring latitude is the equator... zero degrees. There are two terminal points of latitude: 90 degrees north (the true north pole, not the magnetic north pole), and; 90 degrees south (the true south pole, not the magnetic south pole). When measuring latitude the reference point is always the equator, and the numbers are given as (for example) North 40 degrees, 16 minutes, 13 seconds... or in the real world of sailboats & ships: "North 40 decimal 16 decimal 13".
The north pole is 90 degrees north latitude. The south pole is 90 degrees south latitude. When you travel from one pole to the other, you go through 180 degrees of latitude. Which isn't so surprising, since that trip takes you halfway around the world.
The latitude is 44° North, and the longitude is 63° West. The location is in the Atlantic Ocean, about 54 miles southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Locations on the earth are conventionally given where line of longitude (east or west of Greenwich meridian which is 0 degrees)Meets line of latitude (north or south of the equator, which is 0 degrees)So 0 degrees (longitude), 50 degrees north (latitude):According to my world map, thats in the english channel, near Le Havre , Haute - Normandie, France.
Bloomington and Minneapolis (both in Minnesota) are the two farthest north latitude cities to ever host a World Series game.
Any latitude that's not "zero" needs to have either "north" or "south" specified. Without one or the other, nothing has been pinned down, and the location is ambiguous.

The South Pole (90 degrees latitude) is in the continent of Antarctic, at the south (bottom) of the World. The North Pole is (90 degrees latitude) at the north (top) of the World, where there is only floating ice and no solid land.
Greenland, the world's largest island, is located to the northeast of North America. Its geographic coordinates are 72 degrees North latitude and 40 degrees West longitude.
The degrees are 180 degrees north and all degrees west, it goes across the whole world.
If the Earth's equatorial circumference is 24,900 miles, thenthe circumference at 41° north latitude is 18,792 miles.

The intersection of 15° north latitude and 15° east longitude is north of Lake Chad in the central African nation of Chad.
The latitude is 44° North, and the longitude is 63° West. The location is in the Atlantic Ocean, about 54 miles southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia.
