🔍 Key Concepts

• Chart projections and how they distort distance, shape, and scale • Behavior of Meridional parts and scale near the poles • Which projections are typically used for polar navigation

💭 Think About

• Which projections become highly distorted as you get closer to the poles, especially in east‑west directions? • Think about air or sea navigation routes near the poles: which projection keeps directions/angles reliable and is specifically designed for high latitudes? • Which choices are more commonly used for mid‑latitudes or great‑circle planning rather than detailed high‑latitude coastal navigation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which projection stretches the poles to infinity (not practical very close to the poles) • Recall which projection is standard for great‑circle route planning but not for ordinary practical plotting at very high latitudes • Confirm which projection is explicitly recommended in textbooks for polar or very high‑latitude charts
