Nonstop flight route between Robinvale, Victoria, Australia and Nuuk, Greenland:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Robinvale Airport (RBC), Robinvale, Victoria, Australia and Nuuk Airport (GOH), Nuuk, Greenland would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,314 miles (or 16,599 kilometers).

A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the large distance between Robinvale Airport and Nuuk Airport, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.

Try it at home! Get a globe and tightly lay a string between Robinvale Airport and Nuuk Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
