We have seen the future, and it sucks.

Mapping the Grand Canyon’s Gruesome Legacy of Death

26th May 2015

Read it.

Thanks to the folks at Esri and elsewhere, we now can explore the canyon’s sprawling geography of death. “Over the Edge 3D” is an interactive, comprehensive map of the landmark’s bloody legacy, inspired by the 2001 book Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon. True to its name, the map can be viewed in 3D if you have Chromadepth glasses. But exploring it with no special gear is also depressingly gripping, like doing a scavenger hunt where all the “prizes” are helicopter accidents, drownings, heart failure, or being crushed by a falling mule.

Think of it as evolution in action.
