I was just in Joburg not long ago. I want to go back.

Beautiful... thanks for that!

I can't grasp this flight path having a need to fly over Antarctica
It's the shortest flight path
crazyPilot
Johannesburg is on the other side of the earth in relation to Sydney!
I've googled and can't find anything showing a flight path over the Antarctic, sea ice possibly, at most.

Australia to Chile?
Sydney to Johannesburg
That make sense. And cool photo

The shortest distance between two points on a sphere is an arc. Probably no distance differnce than going north, but likely less traffic

It's shorter to go over the pole. Planet is round.
Correction...not over the pole, but sort of up to go over. Argentina would be over the pole.
From Sydney to Johannesburg it's not, hence my confusion.
Perhaps it's like up in the northern hemisphere where it isn't over the pole but great circle routes still mean it goes south to cut time?
