🌊 Submarine Internet Cables
The hidden backbone of the internet mapped in 3D. TeleGeography's authoritative cable GeoJSON is fetched, segmented, and rendered as geodesic paths on a globe.gl WebGL globe using the cable operator's own colour palette. Toggle cable landing station dots, filter by ocean region, and click any cable or station for metadata and ownership details.
