Having trouble wrapping your mind around the size of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? We found this site today that lets you type in your location and it superimposes a shadow to indicate the spill’s size. Check out the map.

Hat tip to our friends at California Watch, who posted a link to the of this visualization on Twitter today.
