An uncommon view of earth


Centered on the middle of the Pacific Ocean; we all know it's immense, but TIL that there are places in the Pacific whose antipode is also in the Pacific.  via.

BTW, I rotated the image 180 degrees so the Kiwis can enjoy being at the top of a map.

  2. The interesting thing about rotating the map this way is that you can see how low (high) New Zealand is. It normally looks quite northerly on a Mercator projection.
