Interesting Geography Lesson

I quite often hear people comparing Maine to places as far north as Finland and Alaska.  Most of the population of Maine lives directly on the coast within 1.5 hours of Portland.  Here is an example of the Latitude of Portland, Maine and other US and world cities that are further north.  Just thought this was interesting.

 

43°39'N – Portland, ME

44°59'N - Minneapolis Minn

46°00'N -  Butte, Mont.

52 22 N Amsterdam, Netherlands

52 30 N Berlin, Germany

44 50 N Bordeaux, France

51 32 N London, England

46 27 N Odessa, Ukraine

48 48 N Paris, France
