Archivo: Peters projection, date line in Bering strait

Description: The Peters projection with corrected date line in the Bering strait, 168°45' West of Greenwich, proposed by Arno Peters. On his world map the easternmost part of Russia is not displayed left of Alaska, as it is usually done. Instead, it is on the right with the rest of Russia. The antipode of Peters' corrected date line is the meridian, 11° 15' East of Greenwich, traversing the city center of Florence in Italy. The drawn out 96 meridians mark quarters of the hour. Green: Longitude of Greenwich and the old date line. Red: Longitude of Florence and Peters date line.
