Maps
Counting the Displaced
On average, China has built one large dam every day during the last 50 years, displacing 1,100 people each time.
The interactive map is a part of the fourth installment of Choking on Growth, a series of articles and multimedia examining the impact of China’s pollution crisis, that I have been working on with other people at The New York Times.
A Map of the Oil World
In 2006, Saudi Arabia was by far the largest producer of oil, followed by Russia and United States. On average, the United States consumed 20.6 million barrels per day, which made it the largest oil consumer in the world.
This interactive map shows the world oil producers, oil consumers and oil suppliers to the United States, and ranks them from the largest to the smallest.
Interactive Tour of Mount Kilimanjaro
Every year, thousands of people set to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, but about a quarter of them fail before reaching the summit. The rest, who succeed, become very ill from latitude sickness.
Is it worth the efforts? Check out Tom Bissell’s account of his painful and exhausting climb to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.
