The Quiet Map

A live map of the quietest place on Earth, from seismometer data

The Quiet Map

The Quiet Map refreshes hourly to locate the quietest spot on Earth, inferred from real seismometer readings rather than guesswork. As traffic, trains, and footsteps recede in a given region, the underlying ground vibration drops and the map’s pick shifts accordingly. It turns a niche stream of geophysical sensor data into a strangely calming, constantly updating live feed.
