Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Iceland sits at about 65°N and is stretched to 5.6× its true area; Montserrat at 17° N is stretched to 1.09×. That difference is why Iceland looks so much bigger than it is next to Montserrat. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
