While flying around the world with Google maps, I found that the Pacific Ocean is much larger than I had ever expected or imagined. This image shows that almost an entire hemisphere of the Earth is one large ocean. This also put into perspective just how much Hawaii is in the middle of nowhere. Being on a flight from the Western Coast of the United States to Antarctica would also be very interesting on a sunny day. From what I see there is no landmass that would be crossed by the airplane on the whole trip. While looking out of the window might get boring after a while, knowing that all you can see is the Pacific Ocean would be a neat experience. I just wouldn't want there to be any mechanical troubles on the flight, since finding an airport for an emergency landing could very well be impossible.
