Day 71. North Cube 🧊

I’ve been exploring Arctic bathymetry and wanted to push it outside flat-map logic. North Cube maps IBCAO data, prepared in QGIS, onto a simple cube inside a realtime Three.js/WebGL scene. Water and sky come from the Three.js examples (Water.js, Sky.js), then sun-driven light and orbit controls do most of the perceptual work.

Day 61. Arctic Ocean 🌊

Arctic bathymetry map centred on the North Pole, built from IBCAO and related reference layers to make the Arctic a focal view instead of an edge.

Implementation: QGIS base map prep, then Three.js + WebGL with a shader driven textured plane and OrbitControls for polar rotation.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 28: Black

On this Black Friday, I found today’s theme in the depths of the Black Sea 🌊.

Using the OpenTopography DEM Downloader, I grabbed the Global Bathymetry SRTM15+ V2.1 dataset, calculated 100 m contours, and applied the Tanaka method with a style from the QGIS Hub plugin. 🎨
