It Ain't Easy Being Greenland
Day 4 (Green)
Nov 4, 2022
The Mercator projection gets a bad rap for how it distorts Greenland, but there's many projections out there that also do weird things to the country. I wanted to explore the different ways Greenland gets warped for this day.

Tool: ArcGIS Pro
Data:
States/Provinces: Natural Earth
Font: BellTopo
Workflow:
Definition Query for just Greenland.
Symbolize as desired.
Copy map and paste ten new maps and change the projection in each map to a different one.
Add all map frames to layout and make sure each has the same scale (1:60,000,000).
