Mercator: Extreme by Drew Roos.
The link takes you to a display setting the pole to Atlanta, GA (near my present location).
You should search for a location near you for the maximum impact of the display. Intellectually I have known about map distortion but seeing it for your location, that’s something different.
Highly interactive and strongly recommended!
Makes me wonder about visual displays of other map distortions. Not just well known map projections but policy distortions as well.
Take for example a map that sizes countries by the amount of aid for the United States divided by their population.
Are there any map artists in the audience?
I first saw this in a tweet by Lincoln Mullen.
