An animated map traces Captain Cook’s journal entries by location, using a CartoDB torque layer to play through 256 steps. The visualization pauses at named places—such as North Island, Easter Island, and Tahiti—while displaying the corresponding text excerpt. The base map uses CartoDB’s midnight tiles, and the script controls playback via torque layer actions and sleep commands, with geocoded place names linking to the Project Gutenberg text.
