Why don't planes make the long, cold journey over the North pole? You might think that it's just really far out of the way and that it would be a waste of time, but in reality, that's far from the truth. In fact, because of the spherical shape of the Earth, it actually ends up saving time. The issue is actually the area's strong magnetic field - it can cause havoc with the plane's navigation systems, particularly the compasses in older aircrafts. Could that strong magnetic presence affect our beloved tech gadgets as well? What about our credit cards? Even if, hypothetically, commercial planes did fly directly over the North Pole, if emergency where to strike and a plane happened to go down, the chances of being rescued in the vast, baron, isolated North Pole are slim to none.
