Greenland vs Africa
Africa is about 30.4 million km². Greenland measures 2,154,786 km² on this map. Divide them and Africa holds Greenland about fourteen times.
Africa is not one outline in this app, so the map below parks Greenland over the continent rather than dropping one shape onto the other. The fourteen is the division, not a count of stickers.
Brazil alone, at 8,499,526 km², is already 3.9 Greenlands. The island is enormous. It is not a continent.
Greenland on Equal Earth, parked over Africa. Switch to Mercator and the island swells toward the size the classroom poster pretends it has. Open this scene on the full map.
Areas are the shapes drawn on Map Real Size, measured on the sphere. Official land-area tables differ where they include inland water, a different coastline, or a disputed border. How many Greenlands fit inside Africa?.
