- pbhjpbhj 1mo agoThere might be icebergs or sandbars or rocks or volcanic activity or wars blocking the sailing route too. They seem like equivalents. The longest mettled straight route with minimal deviation would also be an interesting exercise.
- kakacik 1mo agoExtremely highly inprobable vs 100% there and directly impassable unless walking & doing some proper alpinism is hardly equivalent
- chabska 1mo agoThis is mathematics, the Alps is drivable like a manifold is smooth.
