This is for the carto heads amongst you.
An interesting infographic cum piece of fun about map projections from xkcd (yes! map projections can be fun!):
“What’s that? You think I don’t like the Peters map because I’m uncomfortable with having my cultural
assumptions challenged? Are you sure you’re not … ::puts on sunglasses:: … projecting?”

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
On xkcd there is always text when you mouse-over the image, for this strip it’s probably good to mention it so the Gall-Peters caption doesn’t go unexplained:
“What’s that? You think I don’t like the Peters map because I’m uncomfortable with having my cultural assumptions challenged? Are you sure you’re not … ::puts on sunglasses:: … projecting?“
Indeed, should have added that when I embedded the image. You’ll see it’s now been included 😉
