Default Geographic Markers

There are places where geographic lines or points are marked. While
modern geo-location shows some of thes to be inaccurate, they do have
historical significance.

For example:
You can stand on the Prime Meridian at Greenwich England
You can stand on the Equator at Midad del Mundo near Quito, Equador
You can stand on the International Date Line in Fiji.

Do you know where you can stand on the:
Arctic Circle
Tropic of Capricorn
Tropic of Cancer
Antarctic Circle?

Or do you kno any other geographic markers like:
Four Corners (Colorado/Arizona/New Mexico/Utah)
Mason-Dixon Line (PA/MD)?
