Just want to point out… their “equal” and “correct” map is missing New Zealand…
You mean the homepage infographic? Thats not the map. If you click download you can get accurate full maps based on this projection.
(Maps missing New Zealand is a meme)
Why don’t they just put the actual map on their site? The video and slider map make usa canada and mexico look like islands…
There’s a big “Download” url: equal-earth.com here’s the standard english one www.equal-earth.com/Equal-Earth-Map-0.jpg
