Featured Map for 9 September 2014:
China Is All Directions From Chile
Clive D.W. Feather came up with today's Featured Map after a friend noticed that great circle paths from Chile to an assortment of cities in China followed all four directions of the compass. From Santiago:
- Shiquanhe is east
- Sanya is south (passing within 35 nm of the south pole)
- Shanghai is west
- Baotou is north
Mapping the paths from Santiago to most of the airports in China also produces a flower of sorts!
