Greenland's size on maps and political attention spark online discussion

There's been online discussion about Greenland, focusing on two main things. First, some people are pointing out that on many world maps, Greenland appears much larger than Brazil, even though Brazil is actually about four times bigger in real life. This is due to a common map projection that distorts the sizes of landmasses near the poles.

Separately, Greenland has been mentioned in political news, with an old video of a Russian naval parade being falsely shared as showing European troops deploying there. French President Emmanuel Macron was also in the news wearing sunglasses that drew comparisons to the movie 'Top Gun' during discussions about Greenland.
