Wow! You learn new things every time you come to Bored Panda. 🐺

Brilliantly devised plan by tourism board.

Go eagles! 🦅

That Eagle's gone places.

this is my favourite!!

Okay, mind blown; it's literally twice as big as I'd imagined given typical maps. Thank you, person who made it!

To be honest, only the Centering of 0-meridian to britain is arbitary.. location of 0 latitude at the ecquator is quite natural selection.

This is a new travel guide for when the world is open again!!

Well, well, well, How the turntables...

Completely off topic: Where are the great lakes?

This map is very cool. 😮

Wow, I never knew this. Unlikely Jesus was fair skinned, blond and blue eyed....

Wait! Tell us more!

Waddle waddle. 🐧

Yeah, we’re not just an island. 🙃

I didn't know there was an ice-wall between Finland and Russia!?! (Do I need to write 'Sarkasm'?)

Surreal. I would put this on my wall just for the colours.

That would have been so cool.

What an amazing thig it would be if I could catch a train in NY and end up in London without having to fly!!!

Imagine riding that! 🤩

Kinda glad, given the state of our relations, that this didn't happen. It is a supremely cool idea, however.

A Railway A2A is underway to connect Alaska to the main Canadian/US rail network. The transiberian is going from western europe to vladivostok. Let's built the Vladivostok - Nome part, and we're good ! Far better than a highway.

Now, that would be cool. I'd take it, if I had the money and the time.

Would be nice to have a high speed railway like that, or at least the trajectory from London to Moscow. I’d love to visit Moscow one day!

"I drove from London to new York!"

so many murders would happen on that train

Can we still do this

It would be very difficult to do since all Chukotka and Sakha is continuous permafrost, whilst Interior and Western Alaska are mostly discontinuous permafrost.

Why is a railway official proposing highways?

That could happen

This was discussed long before.. there actually is already a train which goes from Russia to Europe, it's called the Trans Siberian railway.

Someday it will come to pass.

I would have paid to taken that! What happened? Communism?

Let's fund it!

It would have been useless, considering much of it in Russia is just wilderness.

People are thinking of crazy ideas these days.

Road trip anyone?

Wow!

Maybe one day huh? Who knows....it could happen. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Let's build it!

too bad theres no scotland. i want to go there

By Nome, only 10% of passengers would survive :)

Wow, only 89 km between Alaska and Russia! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bering_Strait_crossing

snow piercer!

Long Way Around route?
