I believe that infinite time would be required to reach the pole while traveling along a loxodrome at finite speed. The heading angle after passing through the pole after the expiration of infinte time is a question for the theologians. > On a spheroidal earth, if you proceed on a rhumb line with constant speed, you will arrive at a pole after a finite time. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
