Ever wondered why some maps look a little 'off'? This video dives into the fascinating world of azimuthal projections and explores the inherent distortions that come with representing a 3D Earth on a 2D surface.

Discover the key insights into map projections:
► Understand the fundamental challenges of translating a sphere onto a flat map.
► Learn what azimuthal projections are and how they are constructed.
► Identify the specific types of distortions—such as area, shape, distance, and direction—that are unavoidable in these projections.
► Grasp why different azimuthal projections prioritize certain features while sacrificing others.
► Appreciate the critical considerations cartographers make when choosing an appropriate projection.
