Admiralty Chart 4009
(more…)“All maps are flat” flerfs will say, usually to avoid showing a flat Earth map. Making a flat Earth map would be simple, using just a straight transformation of the terrain with the same scale everywhere.
In contrast, the scale on all maps of the actual Earth varies, as every map is a projection of a globe.
One map I’ve yet to hear a flerf comment on substantively is Admiralty Chart 4009, even though it’s the type of map flerfs should be familiar with.
Admiralty Chart 4009. Small scale navigational map of Antarctica and the surrounding seas. Note the converging lines of longitude. -
