This Twitter Bot Will Create a New Fantasy World Every Hour

The Twitter account @UnchartedAtlas site generates an new elaborately detailed, topographical map every hour. Each map is complete with cities, mountains, rivers, valleys, country borders, and other interesting features.

Glaciologist Martin O'Leary, The Creator, used old fantasy books as his inspiration and was hoping to make each map look similar to "something you'd find at the back of one of the cheap paperback novels."
