How many nautical miles across the Atlantic?

Answer 1

A quick look at any globe or world map will show that there are millions of different ways to

cross the Atlantic, and since the coasts of the continents on each side are jagged and irregular,

the distance depends on the beginning- and end-points you choose.

The shortest trips across the Atlantic that I can see are:

=> St. John's, Newfoundland, to Reykjavik, Iceland: 1,413 nautical miles

=> Natal, Brazil, to Cacheu, Guinea-Bissau: 1,557nautical miles.
