Research direction
Start by running the provided Python example with the aeqd projection and inspect the fillcontinents and drawcoastlines entry points. Compare the filled regions with the coastline for the supplied latitude and longitude values; the issue is done when continents are filled on the correct side and a regression check covers this case.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The fillcontinents routine seems to fill the ouside of the continents, not the inside under some specific lat/lon values. (basemap.__version__ = 1.1.0 from conda-forge)
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
clon, clat = 62.426312397000004, -34.6302096207
bmap = Basemap(projection='aeqd', lat_0=clat, lon_0=clon)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
conts = bmap.fillcontinents(zorder=9)
conts = bmap.drawcoastlines(color='black', zorder=10)
plt.show()
