Goode homolosine projection

Its equal-area property makes it useful for presenting spatial distribution of phenomena.

Some variants include extensions that repeat regions in two different lobes of the interrupted map in order to show Greenland or eastern Russia undivided.

The homolosine evolved from Goode’s 1916 experiments in interrupting the Mollweide projection.

[1] Because the Mollweide is sometimes called the "homolographic projection" (meaning, equal-area map), Goode fused the two names "homolographic" and "sinusoidal" (from the sinusoidal projection) to create the name "homolosine".

[2] Common in the 1960s, the Goode homolosine projection is often called an "orange-peel map" because of its resemblance to the flattened rind of a hand-peeled orange.
