Показать описание
Mr Neil Kaye, a climate data scientist at Met Office, created an accurate world map that shows countries near the northern hemisphere are much smaller than people typically think. He did this by inputting data on the sizes of each country and inputting it into Ggplot, which is a data visualisation package for the statistical programming. The world map distortion (inset) is the result of the Mercator projection, the map most commonly seen hanging in classrooms and in text books, which was created in 1596 to help sailors navigate the world.
