Ask HN: Which common map projections make Greenland look smaller?

19•jimnotgym•2w ago
I see an urgent need for a map projection that makes Greenland look as small as possible. What are the options?

The ones that make Africa look small.

I've found the Peters projection to be good and fascinating

They are not the same.

No, then he'll want to buy the Sahara Desert or something.

I’m not sure what your intent is, but I think the interest in Greenland is more about location than size.

This projection makes it look small, but highlights how Greenland sits right between Russia and the lower 48 of the US.

It looks like there’s Canada to cross before reaching the US. Am I missing something?
recursivecaveat•2w ago
I suggest the Goode Homolosine, which thinks so little of Greenland that it bisects it.

Well-played, well-meaning presidential advisor!
Waterluvian•2w ago
Download QGIS and you can just play with hundreds of projections. If you want Greenland as small as possible, pick a conical or planar projection meant for the southern hemisphere. It’ll pretty much stop existing if done right. If done wrong, it’ll grow to gargantuan proportions and surround us all. But I’m sure you’ve got additional criteria.

(Horray I reached my annual use of my geography degrees early this year!)

Scroll down and choose a projection

dlcarrier•2w ago
A conformal conic projection centered around the north pole would draw subequatorial land at a larger scale than Greenland. It doesn't affect the first three rules of real estate, though: location, location, and location
nephihaha•2w ago
Not exactly a map projection, but on this site you can move countries (including Greenland on its own) onto other parts of the world for comparison. You can see that Greenland still looks pretty massive when you move it further south
