Most of what you think you know about geography is probably wrong. There aren’t necessarily seven continents. Sweden has more islands than Indonesia. Alaska is both the westernmost and easternmost U.S. state. The Great Wall of China can’t easily be seen from space. And the Mercator map makes entire countries look wildly larger than they really are.Some myths come from outdated facts, others come from distorted maps, confusing borders, strange time zones, or the way our brains simplify the world around us.
