The True Size
Explore & WanderDrag countries around a map to see how badly it's been lying to you.
Why it made the cut
Standard Mercator maps, the ones basically everyone grew up with, systematically inflate everything near the poles — Greenland looks roughly Africa-sized on most maps; it's actually about 14 times smaller. Dragging countries around this map to compare their real area is a genuinely disorienting few minutes.
