ChallenGEO2 - Where in the World

Here's the 2nd of my 52 weekly Geo Challenges for 2017.
The first was an image challenge.
The 2nd is a map-based challenge. It's just been launched on Twitter.

The maps that have been created are also embeddable as below...

Make yours @ BigHugeLabs.com

If you manage to make one please share with the hashtag #challenGEO2

Which part of the world haven’t you visited, and which would you like to visit?
