DYMAXION MAP

Specialty Definition: Dymaxion Map

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The Dymaxion Map of the Earth shows all the continents floating in a single world ocean, which is broken up at the edges, as the projection follows the land masses, and distorts them minimally. It was created by Buckminster Fuller to eliminate culture bias in maps of the world.
