The main map is a Van der Grinten projection, which is a fair compromise between preservation of actual shapes, with less distortion of relative sizes than the Mercator projection. Details show major cities, railways, rivers, peaks (with elevations in meters), and ocean depths (also shown in meters), and each nation is clearly distinguished with color tints. Mountainous regions are indicated with shaded relief. For the scale of the map, the size of the print is larger than most other world maps, a feature which makes the labels easier to read. Clocks across the top show the world's approximate time zones. Because it omits the Antarctic region, the map shows the Equator top of center. Whats Up? South! offers a startling way to view the world, and a great way to shake people up and help them question their assumptions. For more details on the What's Up? South!

I really like the concept behind this map. As someone from the southern hemisphere I appreciate not being on the bottom any more. But wait, there is something very wrong with this map. The projection still heavily favors the northern hemisphere - Greenland is shown stretched to a massive size and looks almost as big as Africa (which is shown much smaller than it actually is). Antarctica does not even make it onto the map. If you are going to make a map with South on top you could at least use the conventional projection but with the emphasis on the southern hemisphere for a change, or use a different projection altogether. There is a bit of discussion about this on the bottom of the map but the actual map annoys me every time I look at it. Awesome concept, poor execution.Product details

nice product
This was a very informative map. It broadens your perspective of the pre-colonial world. I'm going to order another one!
love this, lost my old one and was happy to see it here again
An easy reminder every day that what you see is based on your perspective of the world why not change it up?
