Albers vs. Lambert conformal conic

Select two projections:

Projection No. 1:

Projection No. 2:

Mode:    [ Info ]

 

  Albers Lambert conformal conic
Creator Heinrich C. Albers (1805) Johann Heinrich Lambert (1772)
Group Conic Conic
Property Equal-area Conformal
Other Names
  • Albers equal-area conic projection
  • LCC projection
Remarks Standard parallels in the image:
10° and 70° North.
(Image is truncated)

If the standard parallels are set to the pole and another parallel, it becomes the Lambert Equal-Area Conic projection.
Standard parallels set to 20° and 30° North – just because I thought that this results in a somewhat appealing world map image…

The image is showing a section of the complete projection.
