New release: Address validation dataset

Introducing our new Address validation dataset, now available for more than 100 countries.

Built to simplify address capture, validation, and autocomplete.

We standardized the locality column to the city level, removing common identification issues caused by country-specific administrative divisions, such as those in Tokyo or Beijing.

Available in CSV format.

Guest panel at the Geospatial World Forum 2026

Catch me at the Geospatial World Forum 2026 in Amsterdam from April 28th to May 1st.

On April 30, I'll be opening the "Real-World Impact of Space & Geospatial Technologies" panel, a great opportunity to discover how international address capture is evolving, and how new datasets can simplify address processing across countries and formats.

The river that flows at 91°C

Did you know Peru has a river that can boil you alive?

Deep in the heart of the Amazon, the 4-mile-long Shanay Timpishka reaches near-boiling temperatures, hot enough to cook animals that fall in.

The extreme heat is generated by rainwater that seeps deep into the Earth along fault lines, where it's heated by geothermal energy from the planet's core.

Then it's forced back up to the surface through a network of underground cracks. The result is a river that flows at temperatures of up to 91°C (196°F).
