Can you name the world's northernmost, and southernmost, cities ever to host Olympic Games (summer or winter)?

The title for the northernmost Olympic host city belongs to Lillehammer, Norway, which welcomed the world for the 1994 Winter Games. Situated at a latitude of over 61° North, it sits farther north than other Scandinavian hosts like Helsinki and Oslo. The 1994 Games were historically significant, as they were the first Winter Olympics to be held in a different year from the Summer Olympics, establishing the two-year staggered cycle that continues today.

Heading to the opposite end of the globe, the distinction for the southernmost host goes to Melbourne, Australia. The 1956 Summer Games marked the first time the Olympics were ever held in the Southern Hemisphere, requiring the events to take place in November and December to align with the local summer season. Due to Australia's strict agricultural quarantine laws at the time, the equestrian events could not be held in the country. In a unique piece of Olympic history, these events were instead hosted five months earlier in Stockholm, Sweden, making the 1956 Games the only ones to be officially staged on two different continents.
