Actually I must correct myself. From the northern end of the Kamchatka
Peninsula to the tip of India would be about 18,500 miles.

I would be inlcined to say you are close starting near the tip of Siberia
but I would proceed on to the Antartic Peninsula if I didn't hate cold
weather so much. :-) About 10,700 statute miles In the Atlantic, Ellesmere
Island to Queen Maude land would beat it by about 300 miles.

I don't have a globe handy, but it looks like 169W runs about 8500
miles.
But what
about Siberia to Cape Horn?
