In the last three years more than 1.3million people have arrived in the Eurozone to seek asylum.
The majority of those who make it to Europe are coming from countries like Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan which have been devastated by conflict.
The eye-opening graphics show the true scale of the exodus, with movements plotted daily and each dot representing 25 to 50 people.
Perhaps even more shocking is that the numbers seen streaming into Germany and other Western European countries represent only a small fraction of those displaced.
A majority of refugees fleeing ISIS and Assad in Syria will not make it to the EU. There are four million registered Syrian refugees in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt and North Africa.
Lucify, who created the map working with developer Ville Saarinen, said: "We recognized that such a visualization does not only show the scale of the numbers, but also beautifully tells the story of what those numbers mean"

Only a fraction makes it to Europe
The United Nations estimates that half a million Syrian refugees have sought asylum in Europe between April 2011 and September 2015. Standing very tighly together, they would fit on 8 soccer fields.
Only a small fraction of refugees fleeing their homes make it to Europe. The UN has registered four million Syrian refugees in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt and North Africa. Most of them live in refugee camps close to the border. They would fit on 59 soccer fields.
