Continent size comparison

This tool allows you to compare the true size of continents. View two continents size comparison on the same map to see their real size.

Select two continents, countries, or states to compare

How does this work?

We maintain a collection of continent data stored in the KML format that describe the perimeter of a continent using a set of points. With this we are able to place that continent anywhere in the world in order to compare relative continent sizes.
