Great graphic! Knowing a thing intellectually is different from having an actual image to relate to.
May I print a copy?

Great question! We wish we could take credit, but this image was produced for the public domain by Kai Krause. He can answer best.

I have never seen the size of Africa depicted like this and I think it is great!!! It would be a great classroom tool. Thanks!

I think this is neat, but I have to say... Africa is a whole continent, not a country. Often people seem to envision it as one entity, when really lots of different countries and cultures exist within Africa. Its size is more correctly compared to that of other continents like North America, Asia, etc.

Yes, and I think the inforgraphic would be great to show all of North America fitting inside it. But the idea, I believe, is to give an example of size for people to visualize...very cool.

Many Africans envision a connection throughout the entire continent a westener wouldn't understand.

I would love to see overlays of all the continents, and how they relate to each other sizewise, although we all learn the sizes of the continents largest to smallest by about grade 3 up here in Canada, we tend to forget these things once we grow up.

Would love to see how Canada fits... Or to see a similar infographic in which other countries are slotted into Canada's "space"!
