Few people realise the scale of the Himalayas because static maps are a bad way to convey topography. Fortunately, we can use interactive maps to explore topography. Here is an example using Pyvista.

Here is an old favourite. Shipping lanes. This time drawn using the Spilhaus projection, which centers the map on Antartica and presents the worlds oceans as one continuous body. Athelstan F. Spilhaus, a South African-American geophysicist and oceanographer in 1942

I have combined two datasets for fun. Here are the world's shipping lanes (red) and the worlds flight paths (white) on the same map.

Expermineting with different datasets. Plotting a topography map, with contour lines on top creates a really cool hillshading effect. Couple that with rivers and you are getting close to a OS map, all in Python

Forest Loss. This map shows forest loss since 2000 in Africa. Defined as a stand-replacement disturbance, or a change from a forest to non-forest state.

Minimum river temperature. Data comes from Hydrosheds (GLORIC).
I think this is the prettiest map that I have made to date.

Here is a map showing the minimum temperature of rivers in Europe. Always tricky to know where to draw the line on countries to include. Should Turkey and Iceland be in this map?

Topography in contour form of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland has the most beautiful mountains in the world.
The data is from "Global Multi-resolution Terrain Elevation Data".
