Biomes:
Using data from sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/5ā¦ I wanted to create a distinct feel for each ecosystem ā this needs work still and I need to source some better low-poly vegetation models but I think it helps to distinguish eco regions.

Volcanoes:
I love @SonjaKuijpers idea about adding volcanoes and so found some data for volcanoes (volcano.si.edu via ArcGIS Online) with an āadvisoryā or āwatchā threat level, otherwise there are too many! I need to get these animated and integrated properlyā¦

Landmarks:
I love the idea of adding in global landmarks so have started compiling a list so the current version is far from exhaustive. They definitely give a āCivilizationā vibe to the global map!

Moon / ISS:
@mxfh suggested adding a moon, I loved the idea of a small Tanaka moon - totally needs sense checking etc but proof of concept is there. Iāve also added an orbiting ISS, just because!

Next steps:
I want to keep building on this map but my bigger question is whether it should exist as two versions; human vs environmental?
I want to look into global animal migrations next as well as squash a ton of niggly issues in the current version! Watch this space... #map
