Thanks for your help, Anshul,
Your solution works like a charm. For the ticks I found a not so elegant solution, but it works.
using CairoMakie, GeoMakie
fig = Figure()
ga = GeoAxis(
fig[1, 1];
dest = "+proj=wintri",
coastlines = true,
)
scale!(ga.scene, 1, -1, 1)
fig
fig.current_axis.x.ytickformat = x ->["90ᵒ N", "60ᵒ N", "30ᵒ N", "0ᵒ ", "30ᵒ S", "60ᵒ S", "90ᵒ S"]
fig
