Is Greenland really the same size as China? According to the traditional Mercator map, yes—but in reality, China is nearly four times larger. This eye-opening discrepancy is exactly what the Gall-Peters Equal Area Projection was designed to correct.

First proposed by James Gall in 1855 and later championed by Arno Peters in the 1970s, this map offers a radically fairer and more accurate portrayal of Earth’s continents, countries, and oceans—based on their true size and proportion.

✅ Why the Gall-Peters Map Matters

Equal-Area Accuracy
Unlike conventional world maps that distort the size of countries—particularly those in the Southern Hemisphere—the Gall-Peters projection shows every region according to its actual land area, making it possible to:

Accurately compare nation sizes
Understand spatial relationships without distortion
View global geography from a more equitable perspective

Equal-Axis Projection
All north–south lines run vertically, and east–west lines run parallel, maintaining accurate directional and positional relationships. It’s a scientific, geographic, and ethical alternative to the Eurocentric Mercator projection.

Trusted in Education Worldwide

Officially introduced in Massachusetts public schools in 2017
Endorsed by UNESCO for its educational value
Featured in global media as a map that challenges geographic bias
