We live in a curious, vast and fact-filled world. Obviously there is more information on the planet than is humanly possible to learn, but that hasn’t stopped some of us from trying to consume as much as we can.
These maps take visual learning to another level, by providing facts and displaying data about our world that might completely change the way you see it.
Plus it’s just really fun to see what you may or may not know about the world you live in. Go ahead, take a gander and expand your knowledge.
If anything, it makes for fun dinner-table conversation.
