Where the borders of selected US states literally look like an elf making chicken.
I feel like this needs to be an official scientific thing – you know in terms of climatology trends or a specific biodiversity habitat.

Rachel Ignotofsky’s awesome Women in Science drawings.
Rachel* has really outdone herself this time. This is just all kinds of brilliant.
