FROM 2-15. Kerguelens-Hobart

where in the world is…


The penultimate leg… Kurguelen through to Hobart. They are a long way south!
… but perhaps not that far south. This one shows the Rhumb Line, or Great Circle route, from Cape Town to Hobart. As you can see, the shortest way is not always the best. They are staying well north, both to catch the more favourable weather, and to stay a trifle warmer. Cape Town middle left, Hobart lower right, Antarctica that big white bit at the bottom.
