@infobeautiful i’m definitely a fan of the Peters Projection.

I clearly remember a 🤯 moment from first or second grade when I saw it for the first time!

@infobeautiful Pro tip: If you stretch Peter's projection "widescreen", it retains more of the shapes of the continents you are used to. (This might be my favorite world map)
