Where exactly [or even roughly] is the "Far Side of the Atlantic". To help you better understand my dilemna, my partner was born in Iceland, I was born in Ireland and my Dad was born in Philadelphia

I rember Tommy Cooper phoning the swimming pool.
He said "Is that the local swimming Pool" ?.
The man on the other end of the phone said "It depends where you are calling from" !.

The term 'far' is simply relative to the person using it. So, when we in the UK talk about the 'far side' of the Atlantic, we are generally talking about the Eastern seaboard of the US or Canada; someone in Angola would probably be talking about Brazil.
By the way, Insomniac forgot the other thirty-odd countries (more if you include the Mediterranean) that lie to the East of the Atlantic! And in fact, the UK is really IN the Atlantic.

Your dad was born on the far side of the Atlantic.

I was born in Miami, Florida. Now I live in Europe. Either way you cut it, I am on the far side of the Atlantic from my family, and they, from me.

The other side of the Atlantic is the side opposing you. The term is
quite often used by immigrants

The Atlantic lies between the UK on the East, and the Canada/USA/South America on the West.
Have you ever seen a globe, atlas or map?
Graphic on a computer screen, or TV news channel?

Abstract Digital filters designed using wavelet theory are applied to high resolution deep-towed side-scan sonar data from the median valley walls, crestal mountains, and flanks of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 29°10 N. With proper tuning, the digital filters are able to identify the location, orientation, length, and width of highly reflective linear features in sonar images. These features are presumed to represent the acoustic backscatter from axis-facing normal faults. The fault locations obtained from the digital filters are well correlated with visual geologic interpretation of the images. The side-scan sonar images are also compared with swath bathymetry from the same area. The digitally filtered bathymetry images contain nine of the eleven faults identified by eye in the detailed geologic interpretation of the side-scan data. Faults with widths (measured perpendicular to their strike) of less than about 150 m are missed in the bathymetry analysis due to the coarser resolution of these data. This digital image processing technique demonstrates the potential of wavelet-based analysis to reduce subjectivity and labor involved in mapping and analyzing topographic features in side-scan sonar and bathymetric image data.

Good question...
I suppose the answer for you would be relative
