Five years ago, a reddit user had proposed that the trip would yieldof 32,090 kilometres. A group of scientists have finally proved hisassertion right.[image: PHOTO COURTESY: SCIENCE MAGAZINE]

Patrick Anderson, an environmental law attorney from Georgia, said that hehad been intrigued by the question on the internet.
The line appeared in an entry titled “Extreme points of Earth” whichAnderson managed to map with the points.
“You may be a bit disappointed, as I did not discover the path, but merelythought it was cool enough to put on a map,” he said.
Rohan Chabukswar, a physicist at United Technologies Research CenterIreland, also wanted to delve into it further, but there was no proofbehind the assertion.
To this end, his colleague Kushal Mukherjee, who works as an engineer atIBM Research India, had begun with data found from the National Oceanic andAtmospheric which shows the entire planet at a spatial resolution ofapproximately 1.8km, meaning the smallest features captured by the mapwould be 1.8km in size.
Because the model also includes altitude data, the duo could be relativelysure of which points were on land and which were at sea.
