I love a Sankey diagram that doubles as a map, and today's New York Times example (tracking oil and gas flows through the Strait of Hormuz) is especially brilliant!
Reminds a lot of Minard’s famous visualisation of Napoleon’s 1812 Russian campaign of course.
(I’ve rotated the NYT one horizontally)
Massive 20km long oil spill visible in yesterday's Sentinel-2 satellite image following US strike on Iranian drone carrier Shahid Bagheri near Bandar Abbas.
This is fantastic.
Engaging people with data through game play. Also has that very Gapminder-ish quality of challenging assumption.
Love it!
We’ve tracked A23a iceberg for a while now, but this is our last story about it!
Once the world’s biggest (2x the size of Greater London), it drifted north up to 47ºN where warmer waters and seas broke it into smaller bergs, ending up as the world’s largest pool as melt ponds formed on its surface.
We followed its journey using satellite imagery in this visuals-led piece.
