Lets build a highway without speed limitation on this way. Would be awesome.

After doing some more research on the "Cooke Passage", I have found that although it is not a great circle, it definitely is the intersection of a sphere and a plane. This straight line/arc runs a few degrees parallel to a true great circle, crosses no land, and is indeed longer than the Pakistan/Russia line.

Actually, it hits one of the Mayotte islands!! A small one, but it's land. You can see it when you zoom in.

As others have said, there is no problem scraping past the Antarctic peninsula on that course

Even in the worst case on record for sea ice extent: refer
google: "Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches New Maximum Extent"

The most incredible fact is that the land route between these two points crosses directly over Mount Everest!
