We investigate the asymptotics for two geometric measures, geometric quantiles and halfspace depths. While much literature is known on the population side, we fill out some gaps there to obtain a full picture, before turning to the sample versions, where the questions on asymptotics become crucial in view of applications. This is the core of the paper: We provide rates of convergence for the sample versions and address the extremal behaviour of the geometric measures according to the type of underlying distribution.
