Of course, the internet is fantastic for pedantic nitpicking.
While we're on the subject of map projections, I would suggest taking a look at the Authagraph projection.[0] It preserves the size and shapes of all the continents while simultaneously giving the viewer vertigo.

- fdej 8y agoI've never seen South America look that pointy.
- yosito 8y agoI love the authagraph projection! I'd love to see it more often.
- cwmma 8y agoNot shape, Brazil and Greenland are both distorted
- freehunter 8y agoYeah that's pretty glaring. Even when the map is centered over Brazil, it's still super wide. Is Brazil really that wide, or is this just another super-imperfect projection that wildly distorts the real shape of land?
- jwilk 8y agoThe example map in the Wikipedia article is tiny. This article has bigger ones: https://decolonialatlas.wordpress.com/2017/03/11/authagraph-world-maps/ https://decolonialatlas.wordpress.com/2017/03/11/authagraph-...
