    It’s the Mercator projection. The map behind it is just a normal map we’re used to seeing since it matches up fairly well it must be the same projection.

      It’s noticeable different at the top though, so I doubt they were using the same projection as us.

        The geography itself is mapped completely differently, I assume they just didn’t make many expeditions that far north.
