I am sure that we are all familiar with the map of the world. It is a popular map, if not THE most popular (do not quote me on that though)!

But, if we are all being honest, it is kind of a boring map. Sure it has a lot of colours and detail, but it is not the most accurate representation of our planet—the size of many countries differs in reality.

Don’t worry though, there are a lot of really cool and interesting maps out there that just do not get enough credit. Maps are a great way to show and represent different things, so check out some cool maps below!
