Traditional world maps are drawn from the perspective of the first European explorers and cartographers – with the Northern Hemisphere at the top. Perhaps it’s time to break with t radition and show the world from the perspective of all those people living in the Southern Hemisphere. After all, there is no ancient geographical feature saying “This way up”. This time, the hemispheres and continents are flip-flopped, but still in a readable format (east coasts are west, and west coasts are east).
