Nautical Mile (UK)
The nautical mile (UK) is a unit of distance used primarily in maritime and aviation navigation in the United Kingdom. Traditionally, it was defined as 6,080 feet (about 1,853 meters), which is slightly longer than the modern international nautical mile of 1,852 meters. This UK definition was used before international standardization in 1929. Today, the international nautical mile is widely adopted, but the UK nautical mile historically played an important role in navigation and mapping.
