Is Greenland really bigger than the USA?
On most world maps, Greenland looks as massive as the entire United States. But that's a Mercator projection illusion! In reality, the USA is over 4.5 times larger than Greenland — 9.83M km² vs just 2.16M km². The closer to the poles, the more stretched things appear. Did your school map fool you too? 🗺️
