I have a researcher looking for a basemap like OpenStreetMap, but showing the Pacific at the center. They want to overlay the Ring of Fire, and then show the Out-of-Africa migration.

The migration part can probably be done in any image editing software, once the overlays are done. Can this be done in something like QGIS?

It's perfectly possibly and easy to do: set the project CRS to EPSG:3832: a Pacific centered equivalent of the regular WebMap CRS EPSG:3857.

To change the project CRS, click on the bottom right corner, filter for 3832 and select WGS 84 / PDC Mercator - EPSG:3832: enter image description here
