@conradhackett it’s incredible how they got away with this for so long. HOW did Mercator ever get accepted as a useful representation, and why do we keep on using it? No doubt due to US/eurocentrism and geopolitics etc. but would love to know more about actual history

@pvonhellermannn @conradhackett Actually central Europe and the US are not TOO enlarged. I would say it is an evil plan of the Greenlanders and the penguins to show they dominate the planet.
