Looking Out At Sea
#1
When you're standing on the seashore in Hawaii, what's first landfall beyond the horizon? Click on the link, and the map and see (yes, Big Island is a little small but you get the general idea).  Most surprising for me was that sometimes the first land in a line from our shore is Antarctica.

Thank you so much for that! I had no idea that one line of sight from Hawaii includes Pakistan, another two Gabon, and Iran. Norway and Finland were a little surprising as well but given that's over the Arctic it's not too surprising. The Antarctic isn't too much of a surprise to me, but the east coast of Australia was!

Good you incorporate an assume x line of sight. Still though, could be all over the place.

HOTPE what's your starting point and heading ?

Fine, you're not ignoring me even though you say I'm irrelevant. Is there a reason you wanted to let everyone else know that? I have to admit you are one of the strangest and least coherent newcomers to PW I have ever seen. If you look at the website HOTPE posted you will understand why your question about headings and starting points is a little odd.

Can you get from Hawaii to Hawaii by a straight line wrapping around the world's oceans?
