Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Antarctica sits at about 85°S and is stretched to 129× its true area; Saint Lucia at 14° N is stretched to 1.06×. That difference is why Antarctica looks so much bigger than it is next to Saint Lucia. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
