Day three of the #30DayMapChallenge - Polygons. This map shows the earths tectonic plates. I have overlayed all of the earthquakes with a magnitude greater than 4.0 over the last 20 years, coloured according to their magnitude (blue (smallest) - red (largest).

Day one of the #30DayMapChallenge - Points. These maps show lighthouses of the British Isles, the Aegean Sea and Italy. I have tried to simulate how they would shine and cast light out to sea.

Aridity of Oceania. Aridity is usually expressed as a generalized function of precipitation, temperature and reference evapo-transpiration. Higher values represent more humid conditions and lower values represent higher aridity.

Few people realise the scale of the Himalayas because static maps are a bad way to convey topography. Fortunately, we can use interactive maps to explore topography. Here is an example using Pyvista.

Here is an old favourite. Shipping lanes. This time drawn using the Spilhaus projection, which centers the map on Antartica and presents the worlds oceans as one continuous body. Athelstan F. Spilhaus, a South African-American geophysicist and oceanographer in 1942

I have combined two datasets for fun. Here are the world's shipping lanes (red) and the worlds flight paths (white) on the same map.

Expermineting with different datasets. Plotting a topography map, with contour lines on top creates a really cool hillshading effect. Couple that with rivers and you are getting close to a OS map, all in Python
