This interactive globe visualization displays the global network of submarine communication cables, with each cable colored according to its properties. Users can drag to rotate the Earth and scroll to zoom, with the orthographic projection updating in real time. The visualization uses D3’s `geoOrthographic`, `geoPath`, `geoGraticule`, and `drag`/`zoom` APIs, with world geometry from TopoJSON and cable data from TeleGeography’s open-source repository. The rendering itself is straightforward SVG paths for countries, graticules, and lines.
