At the moment, WDQS supports only one type of map, a standard OSM-based Mercator projection which runs from (approximately) 85N to 85S.
This is great for most uses, but means that, for example, queries like "coordinates of places in Antarctica, on a map" look very strange - as well as the expected distortions from Mercator, everything between 85S and 90S is smushed onto a single line at the bottom of the image - http://tinyurl.com/hhwtftg
It would be great if WDQS could support a polar projection (probably as an extra option, but a default view if everything returned is, say, above 70 N/S would also work)
