A country you can't put in a box.

Emily Selwood

A talk about the difficulties of geospatial analysis when the country you are interested is on the edge of the world map. We'll go over some background before showing what happens when you try and draw a box around this country and the issues this causes everyone from blury satellite views to navigation failing.
