Peaks

A map of world showing only 'peaks' from OpenStreetMap. Oceans, and land are black, and peaks are shown in blue, and regions with higher concentration of peaks in a lighter blue nearing white. More than anything this map shows how less populated regions of the world have had far fewer peaks mapped — Peaks: Apparently Europe has the most peaks...or maybe the most OpenStreetMap contributors

comments	OpenStreetMap is incredible. But not definitive. Datashader is cool, though I'm not sure I like the syntax (read: it's different, and I'm not used to it).
