Drag Greenland down to the equator and watch it shrink, it's really odd!
- Infernal 7y agoYeah that’s the point of it, if you grab a country near the equator and drag to the poles it will balloon. It’s about showing relative sizes of countries by placing them at the same point on the projection than it is about creating a projection with accurate absolute sizes.
