Yes, but zoom in on the map and you’ll notice that all of the labels are oriented so they’re read with the southern tip of South America pointing upwards
Oh dang, I did not zoom in enough to see that, my b. Is that common on a southern hemisphere map? I could understand using a different projection, but what benefit does just flipping it south up have?
It’s the Americas rotated 90° counter-clockwise from the typical north up representation.
