LA-to-London. Does that route go over the poles? Probably not. If it did, I would hope that they'd set down.

Great circle (LAX-LHR) goes over Hudsons Bay and the southern tip of Greenland. They could have diverted to Iceland.

Does that route go over the poles? Not quite, Hudson's Bay and the southern tip of Greenland.
