Alrot,

It's "normal" in the FS world  ;).

The "model" that is used in FS2004 is not a spherical shape.  It has the top and bottom "cut off".  Look for other threads here that recently discussed this fact to death.

best,

You can fly through the magnetic north pole though.  It's located up in the northern Canadian islands, slightly to the west of center of the country.
