Maps are our passion. We like looking at them. We enjoy drawing them. But most of all, we love seeing a map that gives us a wholly new perspective on the world—something we can share with our friends and blow their minds as well. Or something we can refer to during a fancy dinner party to sound super up-to-date with what’s happening in the world.
The ‘I [Effing] Love Maps’ online project is one of the best niches on the internet for cartographers and map lovers—veteran and amateur—alike. They share maps that are unusual, unique, and (in some cases) a little bit out there. All for the sake of informing and entertaining us and keeping our spark of curiosity burning bright. We promise you, after this list, you won’t see Planet Earth the same ever again.
Put on your safari hats and check out some of their best maps below, dear Pandas. While you’re scrolling down, upvote your faves and share why you liked them. And if you’d like to continue the adventure, be sure to plot a course to Bored Panda’s previous feature about ‘I [Effing] Love Maps’ right over here.
