Inspired by the beauty and complexity of our planet, this Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) design features original artwork by WHOI designer Natalie Renier of her rendering of the Spilhaus map projection. This design invites you to change your perspective.
Unlike traditional world maps that place continents at the center, the Spilhaus map projection and Natalie's artwork highlights the oceans as the heart of our planet, encouraging an appreciation for the interconnected global ocean and the vital role it plays in sustaining life on Earth.
Whether you're an ocean enthusiast, scientist, educator, explorer, or simply inspired by the sea, this design celebrates the beauty of ocean discovery and the mission of WHOI to advance our understanding of the world's oceans.
