+Cartopy is a Python package designed to make drawing maps for data analysis an
+visualisation as easy as possible.
+
+Some of the key features of cartopy are:
+
+* object oriented projection definitions
+* point, line, polygon and image transformations between projections
+* integration to expose advanced mapping in matplotlib with a simple and
+ intuitive interface
+* powerful vector data handling by integrating shapefile reading with Shapely
+ capabilities
