Albers projection of the world with standard parallels 20°N and 50°N.The Albers projection with standard parallels 15°N and 45°N, with Tissot's indicatrix of deformationAn Albers projection shows areas accurately, but distorts shapes.
The Albers equal-area conic projection, or Albers projection (named after Heinrich C. Albers), is a conic, equal area map projection that uses two standard parallels. Although scale and shape are not preserved, distortion is minimal between the standard parallels.
