Fractal Africa

Fractal Africa is a fractal made up of an Africa-like octagon introduced by mathematical artist Hamid Naderi Yeganeh.[1][2] The fractal's octagon has some resemblance to the map of Africa.[3] In the fractal, The number of octagons of different sizes is related to the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, .... The height of the biggest octagon in the fractal is φ times longer than the height of second octagon; where φ is the golden ratio.[4][5][6]
