Orbital View: All the Ships at Sea
Editor’s Note: This article previously appeared in a different format as part of The Atlantic’s Notes section, retired in 2021.
Just because it's interesting and beautiful, take a look at this visualization of shipping traffic around the world. It’s a promotional video for a commercial tracking service called FleetMon, but nonetheless worth checking out.
Thanks to reader AB for the tip.
