1500m over terrain or 1500m asl?

Just asking because the Great Circle route to the North pole involves some pretty high peaks.

My little helicopter. It'll do it, it's got the fuel, I just can't be sitting there watching nothing happening for three hours.

Got to the pole, but I went to 1570 meters above sea level before I got to the ice cap.

This shot was taken about 10 seconds before reaching the point where I started going due south instead of due north.

How do you win the challenge? Points awarded? Special categories? Leaderboard?

Or is this a participation ribbon "challenge" ?

I got this. It'll just take a while.

^ I've seen some strange "small single engine planes" but that's the strangest

I have a question. Does it have to be a single engine aircraft? I got plenty of dual engine craft that are small enough, and capable enough to pull off this challenge.

Ooh, I like the sound of this. I'll post some screens as soon as I complete the challenge. I flew all the way around Eve on Kethane jets last week! I got this short little trip in the bag!

[Voculus]

OK, I totally hosed the aircraft requirements. I knew it was supposed to be small single engine craft, and in my excitement, I built a rather large twin engine jet. Nevertheless, even though I disqualified myself, I want to share the fruits of my labor!

The Polar Express on the runway. I'm so clever with naming my craft, it hurts!

Doing a flyby of my Class E pet rock I brought down a couple months ago.

In fact, I took the time to circle back and admire it. Rock Simulator has nothing on KSP.

Getting close.

There she blows!

Maximum altitude: 1498 meters

The route I took. I tried to go another way, towards the west, but the terrain was too high.
