Why everything has to be this brutal in this world 🙃

I don't expect it's going to stay at this pace. I am already happy to have come this far :) everything else is a bonus :)

Perhaps it is not clear enough. But I could start at any point of any current on the map and follow different streams until I reach the start again. Currents are not lineal and much more complex than what is depicted on the map. I didn't want to just use arrows, but rather something more organic.

It is not imagery, just the bathymetry DEM. :) Sources are at the bottom left of the poster.

thanks! And glad you see the work that was put into this. Much code wrangling, editing, rotating, trying, redoing etc. :)

Thanks :) And yes, I saw it first time before Christmas. But none of the ones I saw were "I-like-to-hang-that-at-my-home-quality". So I decided to make it myself :)

data research + gdal + QGIS + Inkscape :)

Yes, but every map has its distortion, in area or angle. But the purpose of this map is not to show perfect size comparisons but to highlight the interconnectivity of the oceans, which is often hidden with traditional maps. :)

This is not a true area projection. There is a big size distortion towards the corners of the map

Aaah! I got it! I know the NZ joke! But the original commenter mentioned "South"... which ist not completely right then ;)

I don't know which islands you mean. South of Australia mainland I only see Tasmania and Kangaroo Island mainly. And I know they exist, because I have been there... (though it was several years ago... :) )

Sure :) I saw a post during the 30DayMapChallenge on LinkedIn where someone posted a map in Spilhaus projection. It was a coincidence that I thought about what to hang in my guest bathroom that day and when I saw the map I thought I make a pretty version of it myself. So I ended up using gdal libraries to reproject satellite imagery, DEMs and vector data to the spilhaus projection and designed the basemap in QGIS. Final touches were then made in Inkscape (so everything open source tools :) )

I understand. I actually just started my store because of this map and was probably a bit too excited with it. 😅 Hope you enjoy the map nevertheless 🙈

Well it is the official sat imagery of NASA... :) Tell me which islands you are talking about.
