• Lighthouses of the world: every light on one glowing map

  

  Wikidata knows of 9,770 lighthouses. I mapped them all and switched them on. Most were built in the industrial century, the oldest still standing is Roman, and the brightest coast belongs to Sweden, partly because Sweden wrote its lights down.
