Each month, Spatial Source looks back on the best of the month’s Best of the Blogs.

 

Arctic Watch photographer Nansen Weber undertook the mission of filming the Northwest Passage with the use of a UAV and the result is the spectacular Drone Art: Arctic Wildlife & Landscapes.

 

Ahead of this week’s COP21 talks in Paris, Climate Central published a series of interactive graphics showing the difference in sea level rise between a +2 degree future and a +4 degree future. Things get deep, especially at the Sydney Opera House.

 

Radio New Zealand also talked about just what COP21 is – apparently it’s a “high-stakes science-fiction motion picture set in an unnamed post-apocalyptic European metropolis.”

 

Get ready for your summer roadtrip with these two Road-trip Mix-tape apps featured by Maps Mania. Prepare to drive to a playlist of songs originating from the places through which you drive. Driving from Brisbane to Sydney you’ll hear the likes of Silverchair, Slim Dusty and Grinspoon.

 

Sorry to kill the summery vibes, but the ABC has delved into the deeps of the latest devastating episode of coral bleaching, showing how photomosaics and coral breeding technologies might save our oceans.

 

Like all Bond films, Spectre sees 007 freely traipsing the globe as much as ever. But which James Bond actually travelled the most? Find out on GIS User. And you can also plan your own Bond inspired holiday by viewing Bond’s path around the world in each bond film on this tool from Hayes & Jarvis. 

 

Hydrographic surveyors of Sydney Harbour revealed to the Daily Telegraph a collection of just some of their recent underwater discoveries, such as a brand new Landcruiser, a sleek sports car and a dangerously placed pole.

 

If this holiday season you have a relative complain that technology makes life more stressful, and questioned your career choice, Spectrum has the proof for them that most tech-professionals are actually happy campers.
