contents Geometric (also known as spatial) quantiles, introduced by Chaudhury and representing one of the three principal approaches to defining multivariate quantiles, have been well studied in the literature. In this work, we focus on the extremal behaviour of these quantiles. We establish new extremal properties, namely general lower and upper bounds for the norm of extreme geometric quantiles, free of any moment conditions. We discuss the impact of such results on the characterization of distribution behaviour. Importantly, the lower bound can be directly linked to univariate quantiles and to halfspace (Tukey) depth central regions, highlighting a novel connection between these two fundamental notions of multivariate quantiles.
