Density of common suffixes in populated areas of Antarctica
A visual scherzo* inspired by Moritz Stefaner’s -ach, -ingen, -zell and Marko Plahuta’s U.S. Suffix Density visualizations, both of which are great and far less silly than this one. Brighter circles represent higher relative density of that suffix in that area relative to other areas of Antarctica.
