You think the treatment of GREENLAND is bad? See if you can find the tiny spike that the peninsula and hundreds of islands that is Denmark has been reduced to on this ๐
Greenland is the most obvious (to my eye) case of the distortion that Mercator projection causes at near-polar latitudes.
I'm not anywhere near as confident that I could say what shape Denmark is at the best of times.
That's completely fair ๐
