Thanks for this most important point in geography. We were having this very discussion and this was an excellent example of how a little “mis” information can go along way to mislead. I appreciate your information.

Depending on the format of the maps, sure. Unfortunately, I don’t have any maps of the last glacial maximum at the moment.

The area above 60 degrees north is always shown on maps that are distorted as you show and when the Arctic is shown in a map drawn with the pole at the center the size of the Arctic Ocean is seen as a much smaller body of water. Good job.

Can you use this tool to correct maps showing the extent of the last ice age? The same kind of maps distort the picture of how much ice was upon the Earth during the past million years. thanks, jim
