Crossing the International Date Line
Your itinerary enables you to cross the International Date Line. This imaginary line across the Earth's surface approximately follows the 180th meridian in the Pacific Ocean.

So if your ship is travelling west, you will need to add a day to the expected date; conversely, if travelling east, you will take away a day. This paradox, already noted by Magellan's crews during his circumnavigation, plays a dramatic role in several novels, including Jules Verne's famous Around the World in Eighty Days. ... Read More
