Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection
text:
In cartography, the Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection, or Lambert cylindrical projection, is a
cylindrical equal-area projection. This projection is undistorted along the equator, which is its standard parallel, but distortion increases rapidly towards the poles. Like any cylindrical projection, it stretches parallels increasingly away from the equator. The poles accrue infinite distortion, becoming lines instead of points.
