Okay people, this took me 2 hours to finish because the sensus data wasn't working 4 me so I had to look up the 3 least populated counties for each state. If I got one wrong, don't blame me, blame google
Is it Palm? Is it Kush? What’s goin on out there in that Marshall Island ring?
I commute from my home to work and encounter this on my way. I reside in State of Madhya Pradesh in India. The white line beneath the Plaque is the Tropic of Cancer
Vancouver, BC Proper Population: 662,248
Seattle, WA Proper Population: 784,777
Vancouver Metro Population Estimate: 3,108,926
Seattle Metro Population Estimate: 4,145,494
Seattle has over 100,000 more people inside its city limits than Vancouver and over one million more people in its metro area.
Apple is very detail-oriented. I don’t know what the criteria is on Apple Maps for the text size of cities because it doesn’t appear to be population.
Looks like there are more examples of this happening such as DC and Philly but this is the one that caught my eye.
The Boreal Forest in Canada could be the same size or larger size than some countries, larger than the Amazon Rainforest. It has a million lakes inside the forest and has the Canadian Shield.
Every citizens or people that live in the most populated areas in the south, while few people live in the north back in 2025. It is a big country with almost all the citizens living in the south, making the southern provinces to have more population.
I was looking around Nevada a bit and I saw these weird shapes. Does anyone know what these are? And why so many? There are much more than the picture shows.
In the late 1800s there was a major river regulation project in Hungary, where they regulated the Tisza river to it's current state, which was a good idea at the time, because since it was a mainly agricultural economy and this allowed a lot more land to be cultivated and it climate change was not an issue. Today however it's causing massive droughts which will get even worse in the future.

Just curious if other redditors know of the island of Newfoundland? (where i’m from) or anything about it. Anytime I tell someone that’s not from there about it they’ve never heard of it. Now come to think of it the majority of them have been American. Could potentially have something to do with it lol.
Hi, so I (first year) recently started to get my Bachelors in Geography but due to some unfortunate circumstances and financial troubles I didn't get to attend the entire first month of classes.
Apparently, we're working with the Software Arc GIS. My Lecturer doesn't do make ups so I'm like screwed. Does anyone have any suggestions/ advice/ resources to learn the software as quickly as possible? In fact anything about maps and Cartography would be a great help.
I have looked at some YouTube videos but I'm not entirely sure what counts as a solid introductory video. I learnt a bit but I'm still kinda lost.
Any thing would be appreciated, I'm really passionate about Geography and really don't want to fail🥲
High up in the Hindu Kush mountains along the banks of the Kokcha River in Eastern Afghanistan is the little town of Sar-e-Sang, source of the highest quality lapis lazuli anywhere in the world for over 6,000 years.
More valuable than gold for most of its history, lapis lazuli from Sar-e-Sang found its way in to art and artifacts from the very first civilizations to today. Sar-e-Sang lapis is featured prominently in King Tutankhamen’s funeral mask. During the Renaissance ground up Lapis from Sar-e-Sang was used to make extremely expensive ultramarine blue paint that artists charged extra to use and was usually reserved for images of the Virgin Mary.
You can still buy lapis lazuli from the mines in Sar-e-Sang, the highest grades costing $100 - $150 per carat, the lower grades being significantly cheaper.

Mt Caubvick (Mont D’Iberville) is the highest peak in Quebec and located in the northern Torngat Mountains. Looking at satellite imagery, we can clearly see crevasses on one ice sheet and a bergschrund on the other indicating that the ice is indeed moving. So why is it widely considered that there are no glaciers on the (mainland) east coast?
The attached chart shows what an outlier the current Sea Surface Temperatures are along the equator in the Pacific between 120W-170W. This is in the ENSO3.4 region, which is the most closely monitored area for El Niño. It’s about time for a new y-axis.
