The true size of Greenland is misrepresented on traditional world maps, particularly the Mercator projection, which distorts the size of land masses as they move away from the equator. On an azimuthal map, which presents a view of the Earth from the north pole, Greenland appears more accurately in terms of its relative size and shape compared to other land masses.
The Azimuthal maps shows landmasses in a way that maintains their proportions relative to each other, offering a more realistic view of their sizes provide a better understanding of Greenland's location in relation to the Arctic and surrounding countries.
Greenland is often depicted as significantly smaller on Mercator maps, leading to misconceptions about its true size. In contrast, azimuthal maps can illustrate Greenland's vast area more accurately, showcasing its true scale relative to the polar regions.
