title: R spTransform projected point(s) not finite
body: <p>I downloaded the TDWG level4 shape from <a href="http://www1.kew.org/gis/tdwg/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www1.kew.org/gis/tdwg/index.html</a>. This shape has a WGS84 projection. I need to reproject this layer to European LAEA or CRS("+init=epsg:3035").</p>
  
  <p>I used the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>TDWG4 &lt;- readOGR("D:/GIS/Administrative/world/TDWG/level4/level4.shp", layer="level4")
  TDWG4.LAEA &lt;- spTransform(TDWG4, CRS("+init=epsg:3035"))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and get the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error in .spTransform_Polygon(input[[i]], to_args = to_args, from_args = from_args,  : 
      failure in Polygons 37 Polygon 1 points 
    In addition: Warning message:
    In .spTransform_Polygon(input[[i]], to_args = to_args, from_args = from_args,  :
      361 projected point(s) not finite</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Any suggestions to solve this issue?</p>
