It's time to learn Geography...NOW!!

Although there are hundreds more, here are some if the most prevalent indigenous groups/ language groups of South #America. Really wish they could’ve highlighted the Mapuche in the Tierra del Fuego area but eh. -d-maps.com Daniel Dalet #cool #maps #info #facts #people

This is a list of some of the most prominent historical African regional names versus the modern day countries that have adopted those names. As you can see, the majority of them aren’t even geographically close to where the actual region historically resided. Interesting how they came about though. #Africa #history #cool #maps #info #facts

Posting this again but in a fair use format because someone got offended by the last post and reported it. I find it kind of funny how lucky the wolves are in this situation since serendipitous situations like this don’t normally happen in nature let alone get documented. If you do not find this funny I’m sorry you disagree but I respect you for it and will not “report” you for your opinion. #lol @bbcearth @davidattenborough

There is a small islet next to the larger Ischia island in the gulf of #Naples #Italy that has an Aragonese castle complete with fortified stone walls. Although popular amongst locals this little guy doesn’t see as much tourism as the rest of the places around it. If you stop by check it out! Credit: @earthfocus #cool #travel #history #Europe

Interesting map sent to me by geograpeeps Mikhail that shows the percentage of Russians living in former USSR states. Like we studied in the #Kazakhstan or #Latvia episodes you can still see large communities that have stayed even after independence of said places and even the language is official in some of them like #Belarus. -#maps #Russia #info #facts #Europe #Asia

No reason. This picture of a random crazy deer licking a slice of bread just cracks me up a bit. Write a caption if you want -Thanks @nauteus #wildlife #photography #cool #nature

Cool graph by Jackhagley.com that shows how the world would be split up population-wise into various categories if condensed to just 100 people. Interesting to see how trends change over time, like how today literacy rates and phone ownership are at their highest. #cool #info #facts #chart #world

Interesting map I found that displays the levels of water scarcity that certain regions of the world are projected to face by around 2030. The largest problem areas are of course in dry arid desert zones or places with high population demand. Around 70% alone goes to agriculture. #maps #info facts #cool #Asia #Africa #Europe #America #oceania

Let’s talk about #Karelia, home of the Karelian people (considered the closest relatives to the Finns) The eastern part was ceded to #Russia after the winter war of 1939-40 and only 2 historical provinces are in #Finland. The language is very similar to Finnish however fewer and fewer people are speaking it after years of Russian assimilation and today only about 5000 people are fluent in #Finland. #Europe #people #history #culture #cool

What do YOU GUYS the #Chinese (or very well immersed in Chinese culture) geograpeeps think? How would you summarize the distinct Chinese communities of the world? How are they unique/ different from each other in your opinion? #Asia #QOD #Question #info

Right now #Afghanistan is going through a “skateboarding revolution” in which boys and girls have been taking the sport with a craze. In 2009 the first skateboarding school opened up called “skateistan” by Australians Oliver Percovich and Sharna Nolan. As the country moves forward after years of conflict slowly dying down, people are now starting to engage in recreational activities in a somewhat normal daily routine. Look at those kids go! #cool #people #MiddleEast #Kabul

Lol, I’m more of a Rachmaninoff but yeah props to the Tchai-guy. Who’s your favorite classic composer and where are they from? -Reddit #Music #lol #funny

@theeconomist posted this map of the 104 countries that restrict certain jobs towards women that only men can fulfill. Most are in fields that either handle dangerous material or chemicals /manual labor, heavy machinery or night time operations. I mean I’m up for equality in the workforce as long as you’re qualified, but let’s be honest, it might be hard to find people encouraging their daughters to one day pursue the field of “sewage cleaning” but hey, if that’s your dream, I say go for it. #Africa #Asia #Europe #America #maps #info #facts #interesting

Shiprock, a geologic spectacle in #Navajo nation #NewMexico. On of the most unique volcanic field formations, with sharp ridges expanding around the base of the monolithic tower nearly 1600 feet high (500 m). As a sacred site to the Navajo, climbing is forbidden but pictures are encouraged. #cool #landscape #photography #USA #beautiful

Love this chart by Howmuch.com that displays the net earnings after taxes per OECD country. Whoa #Denmark and #Germany! Maybe that’s why so may decide to work in the public sector. #economics #info #facts #Europe #America #Asia

Just want to share this pic by @lemoutonvert of a “sheep-rush hour” in Puerto Natales, #patagonia #Chile #cool #photography #travel

In recent years, many places in #China especially around #shanghai have built “copycat” western-style villages mostly inspired from European cities. The sad fact is, many of them today are under-inhabited or empty and just used for wedding photos. Many of the Locals don’t even like them and complain that it’s not the “real thing” #Asia #architecture #interesting
