Submarine Cable Map – Map of the Global Internet

The 550,000 Miles Of Undersea

Cabling That Powers The Internet

Each year, a telecom market research firm called TeleGeography releases a map of the underwater cables that connect the global Internet. Past years’ maps have been merely fascinating. This year’s is flat-out gorgeous.
The lines trace the paths that the world’s data take every day as packets of information zip between the continents. They don’t precisely track the cables’ actual underwater routes—that would look like “a big mess of spaghetti,” TeleGeography research director Alan Mauldin says. And they don’t convey how much traffic flows through each one. But they do accurately show the land-based taking-off points for this massive underwater series of tubes.
Submarine Cable Map
The map is available for free online in large and interactive formats.

Stunning Animated Time-Lapse Map of Red-Blue America 1920-2008

Isarithmic map of presidential election data from every election between 1920 and 2008. Created by David B. Sparks, a PhD candidate in political science at Duke.
Sparks explains on his blog, “Isarithmic maps are essentially topographic or contour maps, wherein a third variable is represented in two dimensions by color, or by contour lines, indicating gradations.” In this case, the third variable is partisan intensity, represented by shading.
