Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Argentina sits at about 35°S and is stretched to 1.48× its true area; Denmark at 56° N is stretched to 3.19×. That difference is why Denmark looks so much bigger than it is next to Argentina. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
