You've Landed.

Right now near Columbus, Ohio, the air is about 64°F, with a full overcast. You're in the Northern Hemisphere, where the tilt of Earth shapes the length of your days and the turning of your felt seasons. Beneath you lies soil under pavement and fill, mapped here as urban land. Formed over millennia, that soil is storing water, feeding roots, and holding the memory of everything that has been here before you and the capacity to hold everything that comes after you. We invite you to explore the twenty-three plates below, drawn in the United States in 1935, as you listen to the soil (audio off).
