  • @absGeekNZ Not quite centred. If it were, Malaga, Spain, which is the antipode of Auckland, would be on the edge of the map.

    • You're correct. Technically, the centre is closer to Melbourne than anywhere in New Zealand. And gods know we don't need to give Melbournians more of a sense that their city is the centre of the world.

  • I like this map.

    I have a theory that if Antarctica were presented as a continent more often instead of some disjointed jagged bits at the edge, people would pay more attention to it and its issues.

  • Its interesting, that you can see the split in Africa from space (Africa is breaking apart and forming a new continent).
