+
+The Airocean map projection is a icosahedron polyhedral projection that intends
+to lay down continental landmasses into a contiguous map with minimal scale and angular
+distortion while preserving land surfaces from (most) interruptions.
+In comparison to the Snyder's Icosahedral Equal Area, this projection relies on a specific way 
+to orient and cut the icosahedron so that most interruptions lie within the ocean. The projection
+was first invented by Buckminster Fuller in 1943 using a cuboctahedron as basis.
+The idea to use an icosahedron came later in 1954, and it wasn't until 1978 that the projection 
+was formally mathematically defined :cite:`Gray1995`.
