== Map of the route of the Transglobe Expedition ==
'''Article'''
: [[Transglobe Expedition]]

'''Request'''
:Most of the interest in the [[Transglobe Expedition]] lies in the unusual journey and its route, which unfortunately is also difficult to depict on a map. The following sources have copyrighted map images that can serve as a basis of what to recreate:
:* [https://www.southpolestation.com/trivia/history/transglobe.html South Pole Station map] - this one is gorgeous, I wish we could just use it...
:* [https://kickasstrips.com/2014/05/ranulph-fiennes-transglobe-expedition-the-worlds-first-vertical-circumpolar-navigation/ Kickass Trips map] - this shows the kind of 'blank globe' that I think I could work from
:* [http://transglobe-expedition.org/expedition/ Transglobe Expedition animated gif]
:If someone provided me with the right views of a blank globe I could draw the route onto it myself in photoshop, but I haven't been able to find the right kind of blank globe image. (And I'm not averse to someone more expert marking the route if expertise makes it easier for you than for me!) I'd appreciate any kind of help you and provide, including just tips on how I can make my own blank globe images from the right view! Many thanks.

We have several svg maps of the globe from different angels, [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BLANK_in_Antarctica_on_the_globe_(Antarctica_centered).svg like this] or similar that we can edit to look the same.

:{{reply to|Goran tek-en}} Thank you for your help! I wasn't able to find that south pole view map but it is definitely what I was thinking of. I was thinking of doing two circular half-globe maps (sorry I don't know a lot of the lingo), one for the north pole route and one for the south pole. (I've seen some attempts to put this route on squared maps and they all look ''crazy''.) The one you linked where the south pole is in the centre of the circle would definitely work. I did some poking around just now but couldn't find the north pole view; if you could link me I could work from that. Or, if it's not too much extra work, I think the maps would do a better job of showing the route if the globe was "tilted" a bit, like in [https://www.southpolestation.com/trivia/history/northmap2.jpg this] and [https://www.southpolestation.com/trivia/history/southmap2.jpg this], so we can properly show the route around Africa. Thank you so much for your help navigating the images, I felt certain something must exist but really struggled to find my way around!

::{{u|Oulfis}} Here are some different maps I have found. They are all svg as I think this is what should be used, not bitmap. There might be a tool out there where you can set the angle your self but it's nothing I know of now. So check those globes and see if there are some that will work for you.

:::{{reply to|Goran tek-en}} Thank you for finding all of those! I spent a while looking at the different possible pairs, and I think using [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BLANK_in_Antarctica_on_the_globe_(Antarctica_centered).svg 1] and [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Worldmap_northern.svg 5] together will be best. Some of the other ones would more clearly show certain parts of the route, but I like the fact that 1 and 5 are at the same angle as each other; I think it's clearer that way. I think the next steps are to make the line weights, shadows, and latitude lines match on the two images so they look good as a pair. Then the route can be added. I can edit SVG files in Illustrator so unless you would like to keep working on these maps I can take over from here. Just let me know.
