This is a deceptive title. The maps presented are interesting, and the article touches on related points of where infrastructure is located, and where people live, but aside from noting that parts of the deep ocean have not been mapped in detail, this article does not show that any "dark spots" exist on the map.
- pessimizer 9y agoThere are actual black smudges on a map that represent, based on the map's key, unexplored areas. So both literally and figuratively, this article shows "dark spots" existing on a map.
- bas 9y agoThe areas near "uncontacted peoples" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontacted_peoples https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontacted_peoples) are pretty dark. We have satellite images (in many cases of nothing but trees/jungle), but we know little of the facts on the ground.
- JBlue42 9y agoI would agree. Outside of the deep Amazon and oceans, there's not much that hasn't been covered.
