New view of the world:

'Tokyo-based architect & artist Hajime Narukawa won Japan's prestigious Good Design Award for developing the AuthaGraph World Map, a groundbreaking projection that preserves the true proportions of continents & oceans.

By dividing the globe into 96 triangles, then transferring these to a tetrahedron & unfolding it into a rectangle, the AuthaGraph map eliminates the distortions found in both the Mercator & Dymaxion maps'

@ChrisMayLA6 I like that Antarctica isn't smeared across the bottom like an afterthought.
When I first saw that seemingly gigantic land that nobody ever talked about it freaked me out, like it was a big secret we weren't supposed to acknowledge (child logic)
