Original Note:
The map shown here is the Mercator projection, a cylindrical map projection. The Mercator projection inflates the size of objects away from the equator. This inflation is very small near the equator but accelerates with increasing latitude to become infinite at the poles. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection
