From Geohashing

This must be the geohash farest away from my home, that has ever been reached. And I don’t expect that there will ever be a more remote one. Despite of some tiny islands (i.e. Chatham islands, Antipodes Island and Bounty islands) there is just no land. I’m impressed by (and a little bit jealous on) the beautiful landscape.

Congratulations from the far end of the world. DODO (talk)

Congrats onm this hash. Looks wonderful! Regarding Dodo's message, there was a (global?) hash almost at the south pole that was reached by puppets, this may be farther away from your (and my) home than NZ. Palmpje (talk) 17:08, 21 May 2014 (EDT)
I Hate doing this, especially on cost of the Quaternary family, but I can’t change being dogmatic:
The distance from every 49, x-graticule to the southpole is (approx.) 40008 KM *(90 + 50)/360 what calculates to 15600 KM. But according to google, the distance from 49, 8 to this hash is 18700 KM. The most remote graticule to mine is the -49,-172 (and the distance is the half circumference of the earth, what is a little more than 20000 KM), but there is hardly any land around there.DODO (talk)
