<div id="ygrps-yiv-362011187"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt;I always wonder if anywhere the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of <br/>

<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Yes, I have seen the Tropic of Cancer marked on a highway north of San Jose <br/>
del Cabo (southern Baja California, Mexico).  I imagine that it&#39;s marked in <br/>
several other parts of Mexico also.<br/>
<br/>
I have also seen the Tropic of Capricorn marked in a couple of places in <br/>
Australia: near the city of Rockhampton (Queensland), and north of Alice <br/>
Springs (Northern Territory).<br/>
<br/>
Also, the Artic Circle is marked in several places in northern Europe and <br/>
North America (& probably Siberia as well).  E.g., I have seen it marked <br/>
near Lulea, Sweden.<br/>
<br/>
Interesting question: is the *Antarctic* Circle marked anywhere.  (This <br/>
would have to be in Antarctica, of course.)<br/>
