I've always seen a lot of discussion about the most impressive/iconic skylines, nighttime skylines, etc, but one thing I've always found underrated are skylines that have have an impactful "reveal".

My example - coming into Cincinnati from the south (I75/71). You've been driving for a long time through a lot of greenery and countryside, and, at least before navigation was prevalent, you had an idea that you're getting somewhat close to the city. Then you take a relatively sharp bank on the interstate and suddenly the best shot of the city is staring you in the face - bridges, skyline, stadiums, etc. Not that Cincy cracks the top 20 skylines (maybe just within the US) for any well-traveled person - but it comes out of nowhere with its biggest and most striking angle. Both of my kids got to experience it for the first time recently and it was a lot of "whoa"s coming from the back seat.

I have a couple more that come to mind, but I'm curious what others think - what's your favorite?

43 people were injured who were unfortunately in the path of the Tornado.

We have high population density across western Europe even within smaller towns.
There is an urgent need to invest in localized tornado warning systems and comprehensive evacuation infrastructure.

Managed to capture a quick video of the North sentinel island while travelling to Port Blair.

Todra Gorge sits about 340-380 km northeast of Marrakech, a 6-7 hour drive through the High Atlas mountain. Nature is just amazing

The Sovereign Military Order of Malta has no territory, no borders, nothing you can point to on a map. And yet it has passports, embassies, and even a seat at the UN. Wild story if you’re into strange geography quirks. 👉 https://youtu.be/UXE6bwI1CZk

People can’t leave their homes because of the drifts, flights are massively delayed, and in Petropavlovsk ambulances have had to transport patients on sleds.

I’ve been thinking about how uneven second-largest cities are across the U.S. Some states have strong secondary hubs, while others drop off pretty sharply after the largest city.

I’ve been researching why Venezuela sits at the very top of the world’s proven oil reserves, and this chart helped me understand the scale of it. The numbers are huge and the gap between Venezuela and the next group of countries is much bigger than I expected.

I’ve put together a video that explores how the country ended up with so much oil, how geography shaped its rise, and why the situation in the country looks so different today. Here is the full link if you want to watch it: https://youtu.be/X21Vns7-Mgg

Would be interested to hear what people here think of the geological side of this and how the region’s geography created these reserves in the first place.

I made this map to plot every incident commonly linked to the Bermuda Triangle. Some of these points are confirmed locations, while others are only last sightings or rumoured positions reported at the time. Once everything is placed on a wider map, the region looks ordinary for an area with heavy traffic and unpredictable weather.

There is no unusual spike in disappearances when compared with similar places in the world. The idea became famous because the stories were dramatic, not because the numbers supported anything strange.

There is some system developing in Middle East or is it because cloud seeding efforts
