The World Map

Another World Map

Greenland: 0.8 million sq. miles Africa: 11.6 million sq. miles

Peter’s Projection perfect size; distorted shape

Peter’s Projection Presented in 1973 by Dr. Arno Peter’s Designed to eliminate Eurocentrism

Mollweide Projection The Mollweide projection, developed in 1805, is commonly used for displaying distributions (people, telecommunications equipment, the world's religions, etc).

Eckert IV Projection

Goode’s Homolosine

Van der Grinten Projection Developed in the official projection of the National Geographic Society from 1922 to 1988.

Robinson Projection From 1988 to 1998 the National Geographic Society used the Robinson projection (created in 1963 by Arthur H. Robinson).

Winkel Tripel Projection Recently the National Geographic Society adopted the Winkel Tripel projection. Oswald Winkel developed this projection in 1921, and it has the advantage of minimizing shape distortion in the polar areas.
