This hexbin map shows the proximity of earthquakes (magnitude 3.0 or greater) in the Canterbury region of New Zealand during the month of September, 2010.
The map is created using Leaflet. The hexbin layer is a custom Leaflet layer which uses d3js to generate a svg hexbin overlay. The source for the custom leaflet layer is viewable here.
Earthquake data sourced from GeoNet.
