This example demonstrates the Interrupted Sinu-Mollweide map projection, which splits the world map into several lobes that do not extend all the way to the equator, leaving a gap. The map is rendered with SVG using D3.js v3, including the `d3.geo.interrupt` function to define the lobe boundaries and `d3.geo.path` to project geographic features. Land and country boundaries are drawn from a TopoJSON world dataset, with land filled in black and boundaries outlined in white. A graticule and sphere outline complete the visualization, with a clip path restricting all elements to the globe's shape.

AI-generated description

My recreation of Philbrick’s interrupted Sinu-Mollweide projection is based on Carlos Furuti’s. The interruptions do not cut all the way to the equator, which means only part of the map is interrupted!
