The MERCATOR PROJECTION is both a very convenient way for navigation to depict the Earth, and
(perhaps) a conspiratorial attempt by the Flemish of the XVI century to convince the whole world that
Greenland is really the size of Africa, and Antarctica is an endless ice wall at the edge of the world. Here,
the closer to the equator, the truer the image of the country; and vice versa, the closer to the poles, the
more deceptive it is. Such is the paradox of proper navigation!
