The world upside-down & Pacific-centred on a folded political map from Hema with bright colouring for countries & light blue oceans, offering the world as seen from Down Under
- with Australia & New Zealand on top & in the centre. The choice of Mercator projection does, of course, greatly distort Greenland or the Arctic islands of Canada, Russia & Norway, but this only adds to the fun of seeing the world turned “the wrong way up”. All place names are in their English versions. No physical information is included beyond lakes & main rivers. Latitude & longitude lines are drawn at 20° intervals. Try viewing this map “the right way up” & then back to upside-down & see how one’s perception of what’s where changes!
