I chose to portray this image of the Earth with South at the top of the map. This map is showing Antarctica at the very top, with Australia, in the center, and the many Indonesia Islands on the bottom of the map. I have never seen the Earth from this perspective, and I find it very interesting to look at the Earth from different view points. Looking at Australia from this perspective makes me realize that the continent is very separated from much of the landmass on the rest of the Earth. Indonesia lies just north of Australia, but besides the many small islands, Australia is very secluded from the rest of the world. This separation from other continents played a huge role in the development of Australain culture and customs. Looking at the Earth from different perspectives really opens your eyes to things that you may not have noticed when looking at maps in traditional spacial perspectives.
