    I believe that infinite time would be required to reach the pole while
    traveling along a loxodrome at finite speed.
    The heading angle after passing through the pole after the expiration of
    infinte time is a question for the theologians.

    > On a spheroidal earth, if you proceed on a rhumb line with constant speed,
     you will arrive at a pole after a finite time.
