Treemaps for space-constrained visualization of hierarchies http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/treemap-history/ actually look like Antarcti.ca's nested squares or http://www.smartmoney.com/marketmap/

Use Golden Rectangle http://web.mit.edu/cjoye/www/art/img/Fibonacci1.jpg as base for (8D?) zoom image collage (based on the Fibonacci sequence: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55,... These numbers became the dimensions of the squares which, when placed in this pattern, form a rectangle whose aspect ratio is then 1/1, 1/2, 2/3, 3/5, 5/8, 8/13, ... )

Really liked the title box that moved with my mouse while I moved over the map http://www.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/canada_e.html
