Day 19 of 30DayMapChallenge: « Projections » (previously).
EPSG:3035 is a Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection used for mapping Europe at medium scale, preserving area. It is quite used in European statistics for this property and is the base for a grid system.
We push this projection a little further by reprojecting the entire globe.
