## Description

Canada looks bigger than the whole continent of Africa on the map hanging in most classrooms. Africa is actually more than three times the size of Canada. Gerardus Mercator never set out to shrink a continent -- in 1569 he built a navigation tool for finding a heading at sea. For 400 years, that tool became the world's default map, doing a job it was never built for: showing people how big a place actually is.

Mercator's 1569 projection stretches landmass near the poles and shrinks it at the equator
Africa sits across the equator -- Greenland sits near the top of the map
Africa is more than three times the size of Canada in real land area
The UN adopted an equal-area map correcting this distortion in 2026
