In R's mapgl package, use `add_image_source()` to add a terra raster to your map, then display it with `add_raster_layer()`.

Drape it over Mapbox's Standard style for built-in 3D!

#30daymapchallenge | Day 29 Raster | Algal Bloom

Raster isn’t my particular area of cartographic expertise… but here’s a stylization of Sentinel 2 imagery capturing a particularly gnarly algal bloom in May 2023. This particular event led to beach closures quite early in the summer season.

Made a joyplot of Switzerland following @aasmith.bsky.social's instructions.

I'm sure it can be improved but I really like how it looks already!

Day 28 - Black
The Longest Nights (2025)

Polar night (+24 hr night) occurs just beyond the Arctic Circle. This is due to the Earth's gravitational pull on light. The ramp up from just beyond the Arctic Circle 67.4°N (24 hrs) to 67.5°N (11 days) is wild.

In the @Mapbox Standard Style, set the `lightPreset` in the style's basemap config property to "night" for a stunning dark theme.

Try it out with the Standard Satellite style as well!

Day 28 #30DayMapChallenge - Night time lights

How did night time lights compare in North Korea and its neighbours during October 2025?

I used the {blackmarbleR} for this one and it's great package. Instructions in how to access (and more) are linked in the first reply.

ICYMI: this week, the #Copernicus Sentinel-5 instrument aboard EUMETSAT’s Metop-SGA1 released its first images - and this global view of ozone is our image of the week!

The image shows a map of global ozone, and the hole in stratospheric ozone above Antarctica.
