On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Greenland sits at about 73°N and is stretched to 11.8× its true area; Slovenia at 46° N is stretched to 2.08×. That difference is why Greenland looks so much bigger than it is next to Slovenia. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
