Map 10: Light Map

Although this is nothing like what we have made in class, I really enjoy this interactive map. I've always liked light maps. I think they're very beautiful. This map allows you to look at most big cities throughout the world and allows you to pick a time frame. The image below is of Manhattan.

Map 9: Earthquake in Nepal

The New York Times released an article with 7 maps displaying the effects of the earthquake that occurred April 25th. The map below is a static map that shows the areas with the most deaths along with epicenter (labelled and represented by the target) and aftershocks (the small red dots). Other maps illustrate the estimated destruction, map the route taken to save hikers and campers on Everest, and measure the magnitude of the aftershocks by region.
