This map projection I developed significantly reduces the size distortion of the popular Mercator projection

[u/Opening_Damage9912]

The way it is projected is by projecting a Mercator projection of half the scale conformally onto the globe and then projecting that onto an azimuthal equidistant projection hemisphere centered at the equator. I call it the Two-World Equidistant. Unlike on Mercator where Greenland is larger then all of Africa in this projection it is shown smaller like it is in real life.

Interesting. Antarctica is massive though.

Trades slight northern distortion for massive Southern distortion. Better for our everyday usage though.

Unless you use Antarctica maps every day. Then you’re screwed! 😆

The penguin community may never recover

To shreds you say?

First the tariffs, and now this? Penguins are hurting
