Caption: Figure 5.

Isodensity contours derived from the observed peculiar velocities of galaxies in the Cosmicflows-3 sample of distances. Overdensity levels are materialized using surfaces at the following values: 0.8 in gray, and 1.3 and 1.8 in nuances of red. The South Pole Wall is seen in isolation in a view looking in along the positive SGY axis in supergalactic coordinates. As in other figures, the red and blue arrows are each 5000 km s−1 in length, directed toward +SGX and +SGZ, respectively. An interactive model is available on SketchFab (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/656f5663266c4d2d914e0fdbd1237022) and in the online journal.

An interactive version of this figure is available in the online journal.
