Geography

This map shows Iceland using elevation contour lines to visualize its terrain. The white lines trace the island’s mountains and valleys, while red tones mark volcanic regions in the center and south. The dark background helps the landscape stand out clearly, giving a simple yet detailed view of Iceland’s varied geography. I created this map using a custom heightmap to lineshade converter. Data from ESA, distributed by OpenTopography and Veðurstofa Íslands, Landmælingar Íslands, Iceland GeoSurvey.

This map shows 10 more or less well known islands and when they were discovered by which explorers. The dates always refer to the first official discoveries by European explorers. Some islands were already inhabited by indigenous people. Data from Wikipedia.

This map shows how country border would look like if all points on earth where distributed to their next captial. To calculate the new borders I used the Voronoi algorithm.
