Craters
Research and Cartography
JANUARY 2022
A series of maps of the world's most beautiful and dangerous volcanoes.
The amazing earth's surface morphology around the craters - characterized by different heights, slopes and depressions - is here emphasized by the use of red isocurves.
Different shades of red represent different heights (darker red = higher).
The curves' design and the use of red color, which is heavier in correspondence with craters (almost looking like a red eye staring at you), communicate beauty and harmony but also terror and discomfort, just like volcanoes do.
