Greenland, which looks about the same size as the whole of Africa on the Mercator map is no bigger than the Democratic Republic of Congo. Canada and Africa on a map are almost the same size. But in reality, Three Canada would comfortably fit into Africa. On the Mercator map, Africa -- sitting on the equator, reasonably undistorted -- is left looking much smaller than it really is. But Canada, Russia, the United States and Europe are greatly enlarged. The Mercator projection has been used as a template for world maps since its creation in 1569 The projection shows Africa as being smaller than it is It has had a digital boost, and continues to shape people's image of the world. Our world map is wildly misleading.
