Are you trying to tell me that there is no contiguous land route of at least 1000 miles that falls down at her door?!

Europe is just small, 1000 miles is a little more than a third of the way between New York and Los Angeles, about an eighth of the way between New Delhi and Beijing, about a tenth of the way between Tripoli and Johannesburg, about a seventh of the way between Caracas and Buenos Aires, a bit less than half of the way between Perth and Brisbane, and about half the way between Casey Research Station and Halley Research Station in Antarctica.
