A Mercator map can never fully show the polar areas, since linear scale becomes infinitely high at the poles. Being a conformal projection, angles are preserved around all locations, however scale varies from place to place, distorting the size of geographical objects. In particular, areas closer to the poles are more affected, transmitting an image of the geometry of the planet which is more distorted the closer to the poles

maps and movements

i have been thinking for the past couple of months that i want to record my journeys that i have with my bike through the parks and places
perhaps to record them i would need to walk, slowly looking for little mementos of the place and a way of recording its ambience, and a drawing or two to record the way i see it,
and finally perhaps some sound
an experience map, an ambient map

i shall post the results perhaps
when i find a day to devote to this pleasing task
