While face analysis from images is a well-studied area, little work has explored the dependence of facial appearance\non the geographic location from which the image was captured. To fill this gap, we constructed GeoFaces, a large\ndataset of geotagged face images, and used it to examine the geo-dependence of facial features and attributes, such\nas ethnicity, gender, or the presence of facial hair. Our analysis illuminates the relationship between raw facial\nappearance, facial attributes, and geographic location, both globally and in selected major urban areas. Some of our\nexperiments, and the resulting visualizations, confirm prior expectations, such as the predominance of ethnically\nAsian faces in Asia, while others highlight novel information that can be obtained with this type of analysis, such as\nthe major city with the highest percentage of people with a mustache
