Map of the Week - Heavy Metal Cartogram

DJ Yuletide from Melting Point Radio (WRMC-Middlebury College) presents this heavy metal cartogram. It is based on the number of bands registered on Encyclopedia Metallum. While obviously the bigger countries have more bands, the per capita metal leader was Finland with 2300 bands. Bands like Diarrhea Vomit and Life is My Enemy.


Questions arise such as:
Why is so much of the area of the USA taken up by Alaska? -
Do they really have more bands there than the rest of the country
or is it the "mediocre" Mapresso cartogram applet?
Does Greenland represent Denmark or Greenland?
Are all Europeans metal crazed freaks?
What are those 3 islands floating down near Antarctica? -
Or are they just there to look creepy?

Map Of Seven Continents And Oceans

The seven continents of the world are North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania/Australia, and Antarctica.

The five oceans of the world are the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and Southern Ocean. I never knew that the Southern Ocean existed until seeing these maps! I hope you can learn something about geography from these maps just like I did!

Below you can choose a map of seven continents and oceans for your reference and information.








I hope these continent and ocean maps were useful. Make sure you bookmark this site or subscrcibe to the feed so you can check out more interesting maps in the future.
