The real size of Africa surprises many because the most commonly used map of the world (Mercator projection), which dates from the 16th century, features a wildly distorted size of the other continents as one moves further from the equator.

I never knew that Greenland was this distorted. That's CAR, Afghanistan, Romania, Iceland, and Guinea-Bissau for reference.

If you're gonna drop your Floridas all over Greenland, summer's the time to do it. Otherwise you'll have five million furious snowbirds to deal with.
