Talk:2742: Island Storage

Hey at least New Zealand made it onto this map! 172.70.178.48 17:46, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Of course the proper storage mode involves packing the continents back to Gondwada layout and then hiding them on the far side ;-) RIIW - Ponder it (talk) 18:59, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

It seems worth noting that the scale was distorted to make some islands fit. Greenland has a longitudinal height of 2671 km, but has been shrunken considerably in order to be wedged into a 1725 km gap in the Gulf of Mexico. Altay (talk) 19:58, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

I thought it was the size of Africa. ---Theunlucky (talk) 20:35, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Maybe he started with a cursed projection that makes Greenland smaller. Barmar (talk) 20:35, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Seeing the ?? next to the British Isles, I think part of the islands there are the Danish islands squeezed aside to make space. (Okney Islans, Fair Isle, Shetland, Hebrides, Føroyar, etc. are probaly used to fill the gaps...) 162.158.95.82 20:54, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Those are all pretty small. I think it's more likely Svalbard/Spitsbergen. 172.70.131.181 02:09, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

There's quite a lot of Nowegian islands, some of which are fairly large. --172.69.79.184 07:37, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Where do we mention the typo in the title text? (Should be "Scandinavian".) --Flicky (talk) 12:30, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
