Map projection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A map projection is any method of representing the surface of a sphere or other shape on a plane. Map projections are necessary for creating maps. All map projections distort the surface in some fas...

In a sense, the sinusoidal and Mollweide projections handle polar regions in complementary ways: while the first overcrowds them, the latter creates much more spaced meridians, with correspondingly greater angular distortion. ... Flat-polar Projections by Eckert...

Stereographic projections are used for navigation in polar regions. Directions are true from the center point and scale increases away from the center point as does distortion in area and shape.

Polar \Po ... Polar body, cell, or globule (Biol.), a minute cell which separates by karyokinesis from the ovum during its maturation. In the maturation of ordinary ova two polar bodies are formed, but in parthogenetic ova only one.

The first polar body formed is usually larger than the second one, and often divides into two after its separation from the ovum. Each of the polar bodies removes maternal chromatin from the ovum to make room for the chromatin...

For more information on this topic, please refer to Pearson (1990) and Snyder (1987). It is common in polar stereographic projections to set the plane or grid tangent to the Earth's surface at the pole.
