Why Greenland Looks Massive (It's Not)

This video explains how the Mercator Projection, commonly used in classrooms and homes, distorts the size of countries, making Greenland appear much larger than it actually is. It explores the history of map projections, the reasons why Mercator became standard, and introduces better alternatives like the Gall-Peters, Robinson, and Winkel Tripel projections. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding map distortions and suggests purchasing more accurate world maps for educational purposes.
