Valeriepieris circle

A Valeriepieris circle[1][2][3] is a figure drawn on the Earth's surface such that the majority of the human population lives within its interior.

[4] Myers's original circle covers only about 10% of the Earth's total surface area, with a radius of around 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles), centered in the South China Sea.

[8][9] In 2015, Singaporean professor Danny Quah—with the aid of an intern named Ken Teoh—verified Myers's original claim, as well as presenting a new, considerably smaller circle centered on the township of Mong Khet in Myanmar, with a radius of 3,300 kilometers (2,050 mi).

In 2022, Myers's original circle was again tested by Riaz Shah, a professor at Hult International Business School.

Additionally, the circle includes desolate regions of Siberia, Mongolia, the world’s least densely populated country, and the Himalayas.
