What a brilliant idea to have an animated/interactive cartogram of the world’s population! 🗺️

huh. TIL: there is a “four corners” place in Canada, like there is more famously in the USA, where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet.
But ours is automatically cooler, figuratively and literally*, because it is a: at 60° Latitude, and b: involves two Territories and two Provinces.
It is where the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba meet.
It is also a LOT harder to get to. Though arguably, as it is amongst the thousands of lakes in the area, during the summer, a float plane would get you there.
Also, technically. It is not a perfect “joining” on the map which is just bad planning on Canada’s part, but at least it is hiking distance. Or that might be just a projection issue. They seem to converge at 60N 102W. I guess I could consult an official boundary document or something :)
