Context and caveats
Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, while Australia is a sovereign country; both records use territorial surface area.
Mercator-style maps strongly enlarge Greenland at high northern latitudes, making it appear misleadingly competitive with Australia.
