The
Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection is a
cylindrical equal-area projection used in
cartography. Attributed to the Swiss mathematician
Johann Heinrich Lambert, this projection is undistorted along the
equator, which is its
standard parallel. Distortion increases rapidly, however, towards the poles, which become lines instead of points.Map:
