This visualization compares the scale of historic nuclear explosions against Mount Everest, using circles whose radii are proportional to blast size. Each blast is labeled and positioned relative to the mountain, with animated transitions that grow each circle from zero using D3’s `transition()` and `delay()`. The code employs `d3-select`, `d3-transition`, and SVG `circle` and `text` elements, with data on explosion yields sourced from Visual Capitalist. Semi-transparent fills and a sans-serif font keep the comparison clear, while the animation reveals each event sequentially for emphasis.

AI-generated description
