A rather interesting dynamic map that shows human activity. What surprised me at the beginning was the spike in refugees moving to Europe, almost a deluge.

data from UNHCR

a very strange one from Ukraine going far east into Russia around 2013?

unfortunately the data ends 2015 so we dont see 2016 & 2017. come back later in the year?

you can see a big burst to Germany in 2015

Haven't you got a garden you ought to be seeing to, merkie?

no. we have gardeners do that manual work for us here. And a good job they do.

Very interesting. I'm not sure it improves my knowledge, but it is mesmerising to watch.
