Map Showing The Lighthouses of Europe

The map above shows the location of Lighthouses in Europe. But as Ethan Mollick noted on twitter:

The map is even better than it might seem at first glance: the colors are the real colors, the patterns are the real patterns, and the size of the dots is the distance at which each light is visible.

Better yet you can see the live map of the whole world here.

The map was created by Geodienst with data coming from OpenStreet map using Carto.
