For this project for De Volkskrant, I visualized the crucial yet fragile submarine cable network that spans the globe. Recent incidents in the Baltic Sea have highlighted how vulnerable these cables are—whether to sabotage or accidental damage from ships dragging their anchors along the seabed.

In this visualization, I first zoom out to reveal the vast scale of the network before focusing on key areas, including the North Sea, to highlight notable incidents and vulnerabilities.

For the online version, I created a more interactive and animated experience. Click the link below to explore it.
