Re: Map projections

The Arctic Passages - both Northwest and Northeast - are things of legend. Of gruelling and disastrous adventure. Not to be sneezed at. I guess they must have their reasons for cabling at sea rather than overland (shorter overall distance? Siberian conditions the bigger maintenance nightmare?)

And in these times, nice to hear there are parts of the world where Western and Eastern companies can still do business cooperatively and apparently unencumbered by screaming politicians.
