    Just checked a globe. Moscow to Anchorage goes pretty much straight north through Murmansk and the North Pole. Surprisingly similar distance as DC to Anchorage, slightly longer.

      Flying straight over the arctic is a great idea (for Putin and Trump only).

      I once had a flat-earther use this as an argument that the earth must be flat. “if the earth was round, why don’t they fly over the arctic?”
