I want to do map of Antarctic using the Lee's Tetrahedral conformal map projection as the image below using QGIS version 3.4. Is it possible to make a custom CRS to do it? If yes, what's the parameters?enter image description here

    QGIS uses the PROJ library for map projection support and it's not in there. You could add a feature request here. You would need a github account,

  • I will! But is it possible to do with ArcGIS?

    Not possible either. But you can have a look at github.com/d3/d3-geo-polygon to see if it's helpful.

The specific projection you are looking for is not yet supported by Proj, hence it is not supported by QGIS.

However, you can play around with some less-common projections, which might help you/other people see things differently ;)

Start changing the CRS, and defining a Custom CRS

enter image description here

A couple of funny examples:

Adam's Word in a Square

+proj=adams_ws1

enter image description here

Adams Hemisphere in a Square

beware this is an hemispehere in a square :), so you need to set the +lon_0 parameter if a different view is needed:

+proj=adams_hemi

enter image description here

and its "dark side": +proj=adams_hemi +lon_0=180

enter image description here

HEALPix

Edit: I found out also this one, which is peculiar:

proj +proj=healpix +lon_0=0 +a=1

enter image description here

I find this interesting since it was originally conceived to map CBR (Cosmic Background Radiation).
