Every couple of full moons I like to experiment with making my own map projections. Equal-area projection of the land and water hemispheres.

    That’s the most helpful view of Antarctica I’ve seen. On most projections it looks huge or it’s hard to understand how it’s oriented compared to nearby landmasses.

    So close to South America!

      I also made a wider version that is intended to accommodate South America more:

      In addition, it just struck me that the OP map might illustrate perfectly the way Chileans perceive the position of their own country in the world.
