Why does Antarctica look really large on most flat maps, whereas in reality, it is one of the smallest continents?

Even in the final image, Antarctica is shown about twice its actual size. If the ice cap was melted, it would be an archipelago less than half the size.

The projection problem is the same reason Greenland looks bigger than the United States, but it is actually only about 22% the land area of the U.S.

Actually people usually cut Antarctica out of their Mercator map

No one uses a Mercator Projection anymore, except to demonstrate in high school Geography Class why geographers no longer use it.

As a geography nerd, I can say I didnt learn annything. But if you arent a geography nerd like me, I think this is a good video. Antarctica = 14 000 000 km^2 and russia 16 000 000 km^2 btw.
