From the Office of Cartography
I love maps and can get lost in them imagining myself exploring cities and wilderness I'll never realistically get to visit in person. This started when I was a kid, and continues to this day on google maps.
And a confession: I sometimes look on the map to see where shop orders are going. Especially if it's someplace cool, like Japan or Israel.
All this to say, that one of my favorite map niches is the "Adding Water to Dead Planets" niche. Saw this map of what Venus would look like if it had the same amount of surface water as Earth. Looks like the people there would be a seafaring bunch. Lots of islands!
While we're at it, here's the moon:
