While most projections show the two distorted halves of the Pacific Ocean on the left and right edges of a world map, here we see the entire Pacific and all of the landmasses that border its rim in one piece and with less distortion. The Pacific-centered world map features classic National Geographic cartography with clear political boundaries, thousands of place names, and insets showing world vegetation and land use, and population density. |
