The world and elsewhere

I like this photo not just due to the title, but because I confess here that I am entranced for a period of about 5 minutes anytime I see a true 3D model or globe like this that actually shows the true size and shape of Antarctica. I am so tired of the 2D "unfolded globe" Mercator projections. They are so 20th century. Or 15th, or whatever, showing Antarctica simply as a long skinny frozen land that makes no spacial sense. Give me instead the Winkel Triple projection, anyday.
