so you have completed our first yet possibly unsurpassable tries at a complete double pal news tour of the world <br/>

&gt; A search through the datasets for Russia, Alaska, Midway, Kiribati,<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Wallis & Futuna, Tuvalu, Fiji, New Zealand and Antarctica has turned<br/>
<br/>
&gt; up the following qualified and unqualified palindromic extremes.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; GeoNet of course gives Udu Point in Fiji a single longitude<br/>
<br/>
&gt; corresponding to the point itself, although we know the whole<br/>
<br/>
&gt; peninsula that crosses 180 degrees is referred to as Udu Point. <br/>
<br/>
&gt; Here are the coordinates taken straight from GeoNet:<br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; Udu Point    179 57 W (Fiji)<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Ososo Estate 179 58 E (Fiji)<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Akaka        176 08 W (Wallis and Futuna)<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Amaama       179 23 E (Russia)<br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; Ososo Estate on Taveuni Island, Fiji, is certainly worth pursuing<br/>
<br/>
&gt; further, since it might very easily spread either side of 180 degrees.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; A search for the southernmost unqualified palindrome turns up the town<br/>
<br/>
&gt; of Yutuy in Chile at 42 31 S. There are no contenders in Argentina or<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Australia, and the sub-Antarctic islands don&#39;t turn up any unqualified<br/>
<br/>
&gt; place names. GeoNet lists a mountain called simply &quot;Gog&quot; in New<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Zealand at 47 11 50 S, but I&#39;m not sure this goes entirely unqualified<br/>
<br/>
&gt; - GeoNet frequently lists topographic features without qualifiers.<br/>
