Slide 10 is "10.000 km", labeled "Severní hemisféra Země a část Jižní Ameriky", i.e. "Northern hemisphere of Earth and part of South America". The part of South America is included because the straight-line distance from the North Pole to the Equator is only 9 Mm; 10 Mm is the geodesic distance. The Florida slide is 10^6. Pierre
