What’s fascinating to me is to see how close some parts of the world are to one another when you take into account the spherical shape of the earth. On a map, Russia always seems like it’s so far away from the US, but from the perspective of the North Pole, Russia is strikingly close to Greenland and Canada.

I did study geography in college, and have been a geo geek since. And the one thing one of my instructors insisted we learn was how distorted the Mercator projection is. It's purpose originally for navigation route plotting. But one thing I learned is that of all the equal area map projections that I know of, the one that distorts the LEAST is the Goode's broken homolosine. There c are some equal area maps that distort the Shapes of the continents so badly they're neatly unrecognizable.

Indeed. It all started when they ran out of trees to use as fuel and building material. On a side note, after the New World was 'discovered' the first thing they wrecked for profit was (in their minds) the endless, inexhaustible forest around settlements and the frontier, shipping countless logs back to Europe. Many accounts claim how awestruck the sight of all the trees were from the sea, compared to their depleted, long gone woodlands back home.

Mercator long predates aircraft. It's more practical for navigation of any sort, which is what maps are actually used and created for. But for teaching geography, globes should be used. In a classroom environment, there's no reason not to.

This stuff blows my mind too... You realise that there are still unexplored places on the Earth, ie parts of the African Congo and South American Amazon (and more!), parts of Siberia/Russia/China/Mongolia, also Antarctica too... Extremely remote places, extremely difficult to get to!

The Mercator Projection wasn't made to be accurate with respect to size. It was made so that the angles between places were correct, so that back in the old days, sailors could actually go places. If you want size accuracy, use a Winkel-Tripel Projection or something

So for anyone who doesn't get it since the world is a sphere when you try to put it on something flat you have to compensate so countries that are in the middle of the map get squeezed and the ones on the top of the map get stretched so when you get a continent that's near the equator like Africa it appears small and when you get a country far from it like Russia it appears massive
