Really makes you think.
Very helpful, thanks a ton.
So thought-provoking… and by that I mean thoughts like "why did I waste 5 seconds even looking at this?” or "why do I write this comment?”
And yet, here you are…
Smaller on the map, bigger on the heart and much older nation and state. Portugal nunca será Espanha.
Damn, it’s really time we got rid of the Mercator Projection.
SHOCKED!!! Who knew Spain was soooooo much larger. WTF universe, why you messin’ with me!
Now compare it to Portugal.
Title misleading. Should read: the size of Portugal compared to THE SIZE of Spain.
The side-by-side comparison wasn’t accurate enough?
Well we wouldn’t want the distortion of a Mercator projection to mislead us now would we
I know you’re joking but in case it isn’t obvious to everyone: A move in only longitude, as on this map, is not influenced by mercator projections distortion
no
Yet, Portugal is beautiful country.
