30 Interesting Facts About The World Represented In Unconventional Maps

Cartography is cool. Where would we be without it as a species? I, personally, wouldn't know that my country looks like a tiny Africa and would get lost driving in any new city that I visit. We can also learn tons of cool stuff from maps, like in which countries it's illegal to dance on a bar.

If you like learning new random facts and are partial to geography, you'll probably love Fan Maps. It's an Instagram page that features cool, interesting maps that let you learn something new with each different one. Eager to get some knowledge? Scroll down and check them out!

To know more about mapmaking magic, we reached out to Daniel P. Huffman, a cartographer and a mapping educator. He told us more about what the day of a cartographer is like, what misconceptions people have about his job, and what's the secret to making interesting and creative maps.

I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks. When the workday winds down, you might catch me devouring bamboo snacks while binging on the latest TV show, gaming or I could be out in nature, soaking up the tranquility and communing with my inner panda.

Hi there, fellow pandas! As a person (over)educated both in social sciences and literature, I'm most interested in how we connect and behave online (and sometimes in real life too.) The human experience is weird, so I try my best to put its peculiarities in writing. As a person who grew up chronically online, I now try to marry two sides of myself: the one who knows too much about MySpace, and the one who can't settle and needs to see every corner of the world.
