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; Togo at 9° N is stretched to 1.02×. That difference is why Antarctica looks so much bigger than it is next to Togo. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
