Pictures of the trip to D.C.

Just a couple small notes about my trip to D.C. The flight that I took from Seoul to Washington D.C. (and back) required us to fly straight up from Washington D.C. over Ontario, crossing the Hudson Bay, and then over a substantial portion of the North Pole, only to come down over the East Siberian Sea, Russia's Siberian Mountains, over China, and finally arrive in Seoul. It boggled my mind for awhile about why we would take this route when I looked at a flat map. However, the Earth is round, and therefore the shortest distance from those two points is not a horizontal trip but rather going over the areas with the shortest diameter. It was a beautiful trip (albeit 14 hours) and I really enjoyed taking pictures out of the window of the airplane. I uploaded some pictures so feel free to take a look: link here.
