outermost

Farthest from center

Outermost means farthest from the center or interior—the extreme outer edge of something: the outermost planets of the solar system, the outermost layer of skin.

It's the superlative form of outer, marking the absolute boundary: We hiked to the outermost point of the peninsula.
