Description of the Drawing

Translated by AI: This braille drawing shows an outline map of the African continent. The island of Madagascar (which belongs to the East Africa region) is also shown to the south-east of Africa. For a comparison of size: Madagascar is about 1.6 times the size of Germany. The African continent is crossed by the equator. To find it in the Braille map, you can draw an imaginary line between points 1 and 4 on row 11.

The Mercator projection was used to create this outline map. You can find more information about this type of projection on the Wikipedia page: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator-Projektion
