It’s a small world

I’m interested in the idea of connectivity and the inter-relatedness of things. I also like maps. So, I found this recent piece in New Scientist, Issue 2704 [15 April 2009] which describes and presents a series of showing various networks of routes across the globe intriguing. Apparently, the most remote place on the planet is on the Tibetan plateau – it would take 21 days (1 in a car and 20 on foot) to get to the nearest city of more than 50,000 people. Hmmmm, I wonder whether anyone has put a geocache there…
