I only discovered today there is a game called openguessr.com, which unsurprisingly is a version of geoguessr that never tries to make you pay. You can specify countries to guess. It still uses Google imagery though.

Там, де Стрий змінює напрям... Водокрут під скелею в селі Рибник

Щороку з початком купального сезону у ЗМІ приходить сумна звістка про чергового утопленика на річці Стрий під скелею в селі Рибник, Львівської області, Дрогобицького району. У чому причина? Адже це гірська річка, глибина якої зазвичай невелика, проте в ній топляться навіть професіонали...

Voici un des paysages de la nouvelle géographie humaine de la France, malheureusement !

#Narcotrafic : un rapport alerte sur la violence érigée en « contre-culture » dans une France où l’offre de drogue est désormais « sans zone blanche »
Dans une note, l’Office antistupéfiants alerte sur l’emprise grandissante du trafic de drogue en France, l’un des pays européens les plus concernés par le phénomène, alimenté par des groupes criminels toujours plus puissants et influents. #LeMonde #geographie #Geography #geographiepolitique #geopolitique #narcogeography

Manitoulin Island: The World's Largest Freshwater Island

Manitoulin Island is the world’s largest freshwater island located in Lake Huron The current name of the island is the English version, via French, of the Ottawa or Ojibwe name Manidoowaaling (ᒪᓂᑝᐙᓕᓐᒃ). It's home to hiking trails, Indigenous communities, and serene beaches. You can even find lakes *on* the island—with islands in them!

#WhatWereReading : Joe found Maxim Samson's Earth Shapers - How Humans Mastered Geography & Remade the World absolutely fascinating, out in hardback from Profile Books, & his Invisible Lines hits paperback this month.

If you loved The Power of Geography books, these are for you.

"Travel at 32 times the speed of sound across a breathtaking 443 km straight-line journey from Pic de Finestrelles in the Spanish Pyrenees to Pic Gaspard in the French Alps. This is the farthest distance ever photographed on Earth’s surface."

I have a question: Let's say, I have a (rather long) list of coordinates in a not very widely used coordinate reference system (World Mollweide, EPSG:54009 in this case). Is there an easy way to convert that into something more widely used?
Something like csv in > csv out, only with different coordinates?
