The World Map That Declares a New Standard
Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.
An interactive Equal Earth map lets visitors drag countries around, compare their true areas, and contrast the projection with Mercator.
Field notes
The map uses the Equal Earth projection and turns area distortion into a direct interaction: visitors can search for a country, drag it across another country, and compare the outlines. The page includes continent areas, a ranked country list, preset Greenland comparisons, and a synchronized Mercator view. It also supplies an iframe embed for other sites. The homepage attributes Equal Earth to Šavrič, Patterson, and Hürgler (2018), while separately making an unverified claim about United Nations adoption in 2026.
