When you look at a map of the world, it makes sense to assume that Greenland and Africa are similar in size.
But in reality, the African continent is 14 times as big as the icy northern land mass.
Including a number of offshore islands, the total area of Greenland is 836,300 square miles (2.16 million square kilometres), while Africa is 11.7 million square miles (30.4 million square kilometres).
