Happy Penguin Day, everyone!

This map was actually the easiest to make this week, which surprised me, given it’s a stereographic projection in Leaflet, and Leaflet loves Web Mercator.

Thank you for the MAPPPD for sharing all of their incredible data from over the years.

Enjoy exploring the different penguins of Antarctica! Waddle, waddle, waddle…

Original Prompt

I would like to make a map of penguins in antarctica using a south pole projection. It doesn’t have to be particularly dynamic — it can be a static orthographic or stereographic view of the south pole. I have the datasets — uploaded now. Please tell me: which stack and mapping agent will be best for showing the south pole? It doesn’t have to be a “globe” renderer if there is one that can show Antarctica from a flat polar projection on the screen. Please come up with three solutions, with pros and cons for each. Thanks!
