10,000 of the World’s ‘Most Curious and Wondrous Places,’ in One Interactive Map

Some might call browsing Atlas Obscura’s (“the definitive guide to world’s most curious and wondrous places”) new interactive map of 10,000 “extraordinary sights” all over the globe a waste of time.

Not us. We call it research.

Because some day we will stand under the shade of Morocco’s goat tree. Some day we will play Icelandic interdimensional hopscotch. And some day we will piddle in our pants as we traverse the most dangerous hiking trail in the world.

But until then, all we’ve got is this map. We’ll take it.
