We provide an alternative, constructive proof that the collection ${\mathcal{M}}$ of isometry classes of compact metric spaces endowed with the Gromov-Hausdorff distance is a geodesic space. The core of our proof is a construction of explicit geodesics on ${\mathcal{M}}$. We also provide several interesting examples of geodesics on ${\mathcal{M}}$, including a geodesic between ${\mathbb{S}}^0$ and ${\mathbb{S}}^n$ for any $n\geq 1$.
