Spherical Spiral
The path taken by a ship which travels from the south pole to the north pole of a Sphere while keeping afixed (but not Right) Angle with respect to the meridians. The curve has an infinitenumber of loops since the separation of consecutive revolutions gets smaller and smaller near the poles. It is given by the parametric equations
