Do maps in the Antipodes show south at the top of the map?
They most certainly do Set and we are somewhat miffed by it.
I mean if you're in the northern hemisphere and the map points north it points to not much at all. A bit of ice, a few seals etc. So there you all are smack in the middle of where it counts.
But for us when it points north we're looking at lots and lots of interestings things like the Equator. But what's at the bottom of the map? We are.
I am totally aghast (been aghast for years) at this blatant example of hemisphere-centric hemisphere-ism. Who said all maps should be oriented north anyway? Did you ask us? Noooooooo....we're just languishing in the bottom right hand side of the Mercator Projection.
It's distressing. I'd rather not think of it. In fact I wish you'd never brought it up....bah hemisphere-ism.
