The world's oddities, explained on the map. Why does a strip of Alaska block Canada from the sea? Why does Germany own a town inside Switzerland? I'm Tyson, from Perth, Australia, and I make short map stories about strange borders, lost islands, record-breaking rivers and the history that drew the lines. New map stories most days, with longer deep dives every week.
