Satellite images of Earth show roads, air traffic, cities at night and internet cables


Human technology presence over North America superimposed over satellite images of cities illuminated at night

Satellite images of Earth show roads, air traffic, cities at night and internet cables . Felix Pharand-Deschenes has created global snapshots depicting how power lines, roads and even air traffic corridors have come to dominate the surface of Earth. His visualisations based on real data show air traffic routes, the underwater cables that carry the internet, road and rail networks and electricity transmission lines all superimposed over cities at night. "We see everything from paved and unpaved roads, light pollution, railways, electricity transmission lines. All the way to submarine cables, pipelines, shipping lanes and air traffic. The show the extent of our civilisation, the patterns of our global sprawl, how human-influenced our planet now is." Felix.
