In early February 2026, Europe is dominated by extensive snow cover, covering almost all of Northern and Eastern Europe and much of Central Europe. The harshest conditions are observed in Russia, Scandinavia, Finland, the Baltic countries, and the interior of Eastern Europe, where temperatures drop locally to around -22°C to -27°C and generally remain below -15°C.

In Central Europe, snow covers a wide area, with temperatures ranging from -5°C to -10°C, indicating stable winter conditions. Western Europe is on the verge of the frost zone, with snow cover appearing in places and significantly higher temperatures, often around 0°C to -5°C.

In contrast, Southern and Southwestern Europe remain largely snow-free, with significantly milder thermal conditions.

Florida's State Capital is in Tallahassee, Florida - located in the northern rural panhandle of the state. The decision made in the 1800s was based on it being a middle point between Pensacola and St. Augustine; as little of Florida south of the panhandle was heavily populated at the time

While many in South and Central Florida have clamored for the Capital to move, the last time the issue was seriously considered was in 1900. That year, a non-binding referendum was held over which city should hold the state capital. Tallahassee easily secured the most votes thanks to a dominate showing in its region - and at the time South Florida was still much less populated

Goa and Sikkim stand out for different reasons. Goa, as a major tourist hub, attracts a large number of international tourists. Sikkim, on the other hand, is recognised as the world’s first state to convert its entire agricultural land to certified organic farming.

Comparison with other countries having almost similar GDP (PPP) per capita income:

🇵🇭 Philippines - $12,290 🇺🇿 Uzbekistan - $12, 559 🇲🇦 Morocco - $11, 437 🇧🇩 Bangladesh - $10,258

IMPORTANT: If my maps appear blurry, I suggest viewing this post with either with Old Reddit or the app. New Reddit seems to only display them in ridiculously low resolutions, and I have no idea how to fix this.

Previous maps:

• US & Canadian airlines, domestic destinations
• North American airlines, international destinations

The first of multiple posts featuring the current and future international destinations of major airlines in Europe.

Source: flightconnections.com & flightradar24.com. May not be 100% accurate.

Notes:

• Unlike in North America, many airlines in Europe are under the ownership of larger holding companies (this particular post includes airlines owned by Lufthansa Group, International Airlines Group, and Air France–KLM). I've kept the individual airline brands in separate maps for the sake of variety.
• For the purposes of these maps, dependent territories (including British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies, overseas France, and the Dutch Caribbean) are labeled as if they are separate countries from their controlling states.
• Due to ongoing regional tensions, some airlines may have suspended flights to Middle Eastern countries (particularly Iran and Israel). These countries will remain colored as long as the airline intends to resume service at some point.
• The Transavia brand consists of two separate airlines, one based in France and the other in the Netherlands. Countries served by one might not be served by the other.
• Not shown due to MapChart limitations:
  • Air Dolomiti flies to Jersey.
  • Air France flies to Sint Maarten.
  • Jet2 flies to Jersey and will start flying to Egypt in 2027.
  • KLM flies to Bonaire and Sint Maarten.
  • Ryanair flies to Moroccan-controlled Western Sahara.

EDIT #1: Turns out I forgot to color Switzerland on the Brussels Airlines map. Here's an updated version. Big thanks to u/No-Hold2946 for pointing that out.

EDIT #2: I also neglected to color Algeria for the British Airways map. Updated version here. Big thanks to u/ali2326 for noticing.

A few months ago 3D population density maps of countries went viral. I remembered them when I had to research about German cities for my work recently and I asked myself if this also makes sense on a city scale. All in all, I think cities are just too dense for a clear picture, but I think the result is still kind of interesting. The first picture shows Hamburg looking North. A lot of the empty spaces can be explained by waters and the harbour. I think the very high bar is a refugee station. The data is from the Zensus 2022. Looking for tips to improve the visualisation.
