Traditional world maps are drawn from the perspective of the first
European explorers and cartographers - with the Northern Hemisphere
at the top. The cartographers at HEMA maps think it's time to break
with tradition and show the world from the perspective of all those
people living in the Southern Hemisphere. After all, there is no
ancient geographical feature saying "This way up".
This map is unlike any other! The orientation is
reversed from a standard North on top, South on bottom map. This
time, the hemispheres are flip flopped and so are the continents,
but still in a readable format(east coasts are west, and west
coasts are east).
