The Interrupted Mollweide projection is an equal-area projection intended for making world maps. The projection is comprised of six separate Mollweide (homolographic) projection regions. In contrast with the Interrupted Goode Homolosine projection, there is no transition latitude, which gives greater continuity at the cost of greater equatorial distortion. The lobes in this projection are chosen to emphasize the land area of the Earth. This projection was first published in 1919 by J. P. Goode Goode1919.
