drawing great circle path with cartopy

I'm supposed to draw a map using cartopy. The assignment is:

Use the orthographic projection, centered on Hamburg, and draw the great circle path between Hamburg and Tokyo

import cartopy  import cartopy.crs as ccrs    ax = plt.axes(projection=ccrs.Orthographic(central_longitude = long_ham, central_latitude = lat_ham))  ax.coastlines()      long_ham, lat_ham = 9.993682, 53.551086  long_tok, lat_tok = 139.839478, 35.652832    plt.plot([long_ham, long_tok], [lat_ham, lat_tok],           color='blue', linewidth=2, marker='o',           transform=ccrs.Geodetic(),           )    plt.text(long_ham , lat_ham , 'Hamburg',           horizontalalignment='right',           transform=ccrs.Geodetic())    plt.text(long_tok , lat_tok , 'Tokyo',           horizontalalignment='left',           transform=ccrs.Geodetic())    # Save the plot by calling plt.savefig() BEFORE plt.show()  plt.savefig('great circle distance.pdf')  plt.savefig('great circle distance.png')    plt.show()  

Is there a way to show the whole globe instead of the close up that I'm currently getting?
