Mercator Projection

The Mercator Projection was the most widely recognized image of the Earth. It entails that Antarctica is the same size as all other landmasses combined, and Greenland is of comparable size to Africa. In the City of the Saved Mappamundi Great Park was based on it in a life sized scale, but due to the differences between the Projection and the actual Earth, only landmasses at the equator were in 1:1 scale.
