This map gave me anxiety. Happy Mediterranean Day! Peace.
7.8/10 too much water
Cool map!
Cool perspective
Looks a bit like the American Great Lakes if you hold the map like this.
Had no idea that was a thing.
Also seeing the mediterranean this way is so weird.
Happy Mediterranean day !
Are you half Australian by any chance?
*Confused screaming in Mercator*
The ancient home of the summer sun
These maps make me realize how peculiar my location is. I live right in the middle of that, on a peninsula of a peninsula, completely embraced by the Basin.
That’s the way I imagine Europe/Northern Africa looking as my living room (in Sofia Bulgaria) is overlooking the west.
Why is this so unsettling
Never seen a map like this, it looks so cool!
Looks like a seahorse.
Looks like a 🐊
Thanks, you too!
It’s my favourite Mediterranean Sea.

Seen a few orientated maps, but never one that’s occidentated.
Wtf this is the best Map of the med I’ve ever seen, my new favourite angle
Happy Mediterranean day to you do my friend
Med Bros ✌ + Portugal as honorary Mediterraneans.
Beautiful to see my sea like that, happy day
In my language we call “latitude” and “longitude” “geographic width” and “length”.
I was taught that while the other way around makes more sense, the terms were used by Mediterranean sailors who based the name on their sea’s shape.
Thank you from Barcelona! here you have it, a gift for all mediterraneans.
As an Anglo-Saxon, I can’t fathom why anyone would want to live in a beautiful seaside place with excellent weather, picturesque towns, and remarkably attractive people from a range of unique, highly artistic cultures.
Worst would be the delicious cuisine, and the way it is scientifically proven to make people live longer and be healthier.

Mediterranean food is the best
