Landmasses near the poles are distorted on this type of map?

The Mercator projection made life easier for early navigators because they could plot their compass bearings north south east and west as straight lines What type of projection is a Mercator project?
The Mercator projection is a cylindrical projection, where the meridians are equally spaced vertical lines and the parallels are horizontal lines parallel to the equator. It distorts the size of land masses as they get farther from the equator, making areas like Greenland appear much larger than they actually are.
