vladgrinch on April 10, 2026 2:35 pm It’s a lesser-known projection that re-centers the world around the Arctic
dnext on April 10, 2026 2:43 pm Great map. Really puts the Pacific and Indian Oceans into perspective.
GDJ_48 on April 10, 2026 2:53 pm As projections go – the Hellereal Boreal Triaxial is the best projection.
lordwafflesbane on April 10, 2026 2:58 pm Reminds me of those medieval maps that basically look like a “T” in a circle.
CanInTW on April 10, 2026 3:16 pm Gives a good perspective on why Finnair was so successful before Putin did his warmongering thing.
Bill_Nihilist on April 10, 2026 3:33 pm My first impression is that this is a good projection, but Pakistan definitely takes one for the team. Also, is New Zealand really bigger than Chile?
Primal_Pedro on April 10, 2026 3:49 pm Cool. Now I wanna see the opposite: this map centered around Antarctica
EirMed on April 10, 2026 3:51 pm Greenland suddenly becomes the center of the world. I mean, outside that one incident recently.
Jccali1214 on April 10, 2026 4:30 pm Really makes sense to distort the ocean over land people live on
CementerioDeRegaliz on April 10, 2026 4:30 pm Is there a map like this but Seen from the south hemisphere?
Grotarin on April 10, 2026 5:12 pm I’m 94% sure it was published [8 years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/95kd31/hellereal_boreal_triaxial_projection_one_of_the/), when AI was still called “neural network”. But no trace of u/hellerick_ferlibay who is supposed to have invented it.
PrometheusMMIV on April 10, 2026 7:05 pm What does triaxial mean? How is it different from the AE projection?
WiseAlbii on April 10, 2026 7:40 pm How come the longitude lines arent equally spaced? Is it just to make it look nicer or are these not the longitude lines im familiar with?

really puts the emphasis on Hawaii’s isolation
And the outside is the ice wall?
THE ICE WALL!!¡
Great map. Really puts the Pacific and Indian Oceans into perspective.
Would love to see a reverse version with the south pole centered

The world minus Antartica
Great looking map

Wide Pakistan:
Mirror the image and squint and it looks like India.
I like Pakistaaaaaan over there
As a finn myself, I appreciate this projection of the world.
