Around the World in Eighty Days — Interactive 3D Route

Follow Phileas Fogg’s legendary 1872 race around the globe: from London through Europe, the Suez Canal, India, Southeast Asia, China, Japan, and across the Pacific to America. Traveling by rail, steamship, elephant, sledge, and chartered vessel, the route captures every narrow escape, missed connection, and improbable detour before its dramatic return to London.
