A representation of overdensity structure in the Y. Hoffman et al. (2020, in preparation) model of peculiar velocities inferred from Cosmicflows-3 distances restricted to the supergalactic coordinate range −6000 < SGY < −3000 km s−1. The view is looking in from negative SGY, using four solid isosurfaces: delta = 0 in gray, delta = 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 in nuances of red. For comparison, the South Pole Wall as reconstructed using the Graziani et al. (2019) model is superimposed as a black wireframe isosurface. An interactive visualization of the same objects is available on SketchFab (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/cf3bgc600-256-4isos-sgy-6000a-3000-vs-spwrg-v002-0d5c7fecea4f49cf94e1552dc29c5c3c) and in the online journal.

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