Stick Chart Intersection
December 9, 2017
Ocean swell patterns in the south pacific were mapped by island natives and represented on things called "stick charts." Stick charts were used for navigation, getting from island to island following wave patterns, and the way they interacted. More info on wiki (of course!) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Islands_stick_chart
(a "MacroMondays" submission, theme "stick" HMM!)
