Within this story is a timelapse map of bushfire detections/hotspots from Nov 1 2019 to Jan 31 2020. It shows how many fires were detected in Australia via an interactive, moveable map that can be zoomed in on, and shows the spreading of fires over the period of three months. The map was made with Carto by NASA firms. The map allows for a visualisation of the disaster affected areas, without introducing statistics for the audience to get bogged down in. The map is a great way to visualise the fires as it is a primarily geographical story, and visuals drive home how much land was burnt. With more data the map could have been made to show day by day rather than week by week, but otherwise it tells the story of the bushfire damage in a concise and visual way.
