Properties of the Hausdorff mapping \mathcal{H} taking each compact metric space to the space
of its non-empty closed subsets endowed with the Hausdorff metric are studied.
It is shown that this mapping is non-stretching (i.e., a Lipschitz mapping whose Lipschitz
constant equals 1). Several examples of classes of metric spaces such that the distances
between them are preserved by the mapping \mathcal{H} are given. The distance between any connected
metric space with a finite diameter and any simplex with a greater diameter is calculated.
Some properties of the Hausdorff mapping are discussed, which may be useful to understand whether
the mapping \mathcal{H} is isometric or not.
