An interactive map of some of the world's greatest journeys.

If you're interested in world maps, and love to combine geography with history and popular lore, then this is a great site to check out... This site does exactly what the title says, it provides one with an interactive map of the world that traces some of the most remarkable and interesting journeys in the world. I found out about it a boingboing (as usual!) I would have loved to see Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's epic 'Long way round' and 'Long way down' journeys on here.

Our pals at GOOD created a fascinating interactive infographic documenting "history's greatest journeys," including trips from travelers like Amelia Earhart, Ken Kesey, Columbus, and Jack Kerouac. Notably absent though is Albert Hoffman's bicycle ride. Good traces the most famous trips in history (Good Magazine)
