Nonstop flight route between Ulukhaktok, Northwest Territories, Canada and Lander, Wyoming, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Ulukhaktok/Holman Airport (YHI), Ulukhaktok, Northwest Territories, Canada and Hunt Field (LND), Lander, Wyoming, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,956 miles (or 3,148 kilometers).

A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the relatively short distance between Ulukhaktok/Holman Airport and Hunt Field, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Ulukhaktok/Holman Airport (YHI):

• Because of Ulukhaktok/Holman Airport's relatively low elevation of 117 feet, planes can take off or land at Ulukhaktok/Holman Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
• Prior to the construction of the airport all aircraft either landed on an ice strip in the winter or in the middle of town.
• By early 1979 the snow problem was so great that the runway was no longer a straight line.
