UN vote today: swap the old Mercator map (Greenland looks almost as big as Africa on it) for Equal Earth, which shows true size. Africa is actually 14x bigger than Greenland. MapShop stocks Equal Earth Wall Maps now.

There's no single "correct" world map, and the International Cartographic Association made it official in its 2026 guidance. Mercator distorts size. Equal Earth preserves area. Robinson and Winkel Tripel compromise. The right projection depends on the job

The world looks different depending on how it is mapped.

Some prioritise shape, others prioritise size, and some aim to balance both. The result is that the same world can look very different.
