a digital scrapbook compiled by everyone at amaze plc
Enables you to grasp a sense of scale of global events in terms that you can more easily understand, through use of Google maps.
For example, to appreciate the scale of the Chernobyl radiation cloud, enter your postcode to place your house at the epicentre (in this example it covers an area way above Iceland to down below Italy and from the coast of Canada to Poland !!!!!) Other more light hearted examples are also possible, such as the size of the Glastonbury festival site, or how far the Rio Carnival would reach from your door step!
