I recently stumbled across this the other day from the following website. It is a graphic that is drawn to scale showing the features of the planet from the highest point on Mount Everest down to the lowest point of the Oceans. It is meant to depict how deep the Deep Water Horizon drilling rig was actually drilling for oil before its accident. That in its self is pretty incredible, but this graphic also has lots of facts and bits of information about the rest of the planet. I think it’s fascinating.
TIP: Try saving the image, opening it up in a separate window, zoom out on the image and view it all at once. That really puts the incredible extremes of our planet into perspective!
I think this also sets a personal record for me… physically the LONGEST blog post EVER!
