Africa

Basic Information

Africa is the second-largest continent on Earth. Because of the way the mercator projection used on many maps stretches the representation of areas near the poles, Africa may be much larger than you're envisioning. (In the bibliography block below there's a link to a site that has accurate comparative maps that show just how huge Africa really is.)
