Northwest Passage

Ahoy all,

So, I've just docked at Belchen, off Greenland, after a long trawl through the North Atlantic convoy routes. Its Sept. 1940. All the recent boardtalk about Easter eggs and travelling north has got me thinking...about trying the Northwest passage.

Anyone else ever try this? Is it even possible? Does GWX/SH3 model ice sheets?

I remember previously trying to go as far north as possible over Norway, but I ran into what I presume was an ice sheet at high TC and came-a-cropper.

On a slightly related note, say one was to go to the western/eastern limit of the map, could one 'cross' it?..ie. is the earth modelled as round, or flat? I know the GWX team gave the U-Boats bigger 'fuel' tanks to compensate for the 'flat earth' syndrome, so maybe its not possible.

Cheers,
