24,901 miles is the distance at the equator. As you move North or South in latitude, the distance decreases thus 15,474 miles is plausible.

10,000 miles? I had no idea the great polar routes would save that much in distance. If we could only do that in Texas to make travel quicker.

38 degrees north latitude if I’m thinking right.
