Every December, Canadian Geographic’s editor-in-chief Aaron Kylie chooses his favourite maps from the year’s six issues. This is our fifth such roundup and it includes amazing visual storytelling from our cartographer Chris Brackley, including a celebration of the St. Lawrence Seaway, an in-depth look at the importance of permafrost, and a beautiful visual comparison of Canada’s largest lakes by surface area. We hope your inner map geek enjoys scrolling through these as much as we did collecting them!
