Why does Ireland keep its mountains around the edge? Half the island stands below 84 metres, and the middle is the lowest part of it: a broad limestone plain of bog and pasture, uplands pushed out to the coasts.

Data: AWS Terrain Tiles (Terrarium DEM)

Bit more progess on the mapping front. Here you can see the projected maps and the resulting OGIS layer (first image).

First editing functions are in, can place towns, roads, rivers and bring altitude up and down.

The data extracted into OGIS and reprojected on the globe.Westmarch local map (even more detail) overlayed on the mid-size projected map. The projections analysed wtith Claude Code to make the OGIS layer.Biggest projection and a smaller one with more detail. All projected on a globe with vatans dimetnisions. Climate bands are just visitble.

Median age by continent today ranges from 17.9 in Africa to 44.7 in Europe. Pulled back to 2000 and forward to 2100, South America climbs faster than any other continent and nearly closes the gap with Europe. vividmaps.com/median-age-b...

Half of France's forest has no dominant species: 51% is mixed stands. Where one species does dominate, it's oak, on 19%, far ahead of beech, fir or pine.

Half of China's rain falls in three months, June through August. Three years of daily rain, 2023 to 2026. One patch of the Guangxi coast averages 3.6 metres a year; the Tarim Basin averages under 5 centimetres.

Data: CHIRPS v3.0.

IKEA names its sofas after Swedish places, and most of its armchairs follow the same rule. IKEA Sweden sells 64 of them right now, and I put every one on a map.

Pick a sofa or armchair and see where it comes from!

A web page titled "The IKEA place-name map". On the left, a dropdown has MALMKÖPING selected. Below it is a photo of a beige 3-seat sofa priced from 7 295 kr, and it is placed in Flens kommun, Södermanlands län. On the right is a map of Sweden with dots for sofas, armchairs and places that have both. Most dots are in the south, and Älmhult, IKEA's home town, is marked with a red cross.

Getting some finish on this Milwaukee map, and I absolutely love how much the grain popped once the finish hit the wood! 🔥 It really brought this whole piece together.

What do you think of the finished Milwaukee map? Let me know down in the comments!

India's lighthouses reach more than 1,300 km out to sea, from the peninsula out to the Lakshadweep atolls and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Every point is a real navigational light on its charted character.
