Add columns in a pandas dataframe to a list

Question

I have a pandas dataframe in the following format:

Latitude    Longiutde
53.553      -80.3123
58.1211     -81.3245

I am trying to convert this dataframe to a list of lists to use it in my plotting package.

[[53.553, -80.3123], [58.1211, -81.3245]]

I tried with iterating through the pandas rows to append these columns to a list but for some reason I am not even able to make my first level list.

list.append(row['Latitude'], row['Longitude'])

Any help would be appreciated.

use the tolist method on the underlying numpy array

df

df.values.tolist()

[[53.553000000000004, -80.3123], [58.1211, -81.3245]]
