How large is Greenland, really? Your map may be deceiving you Talk of annexation has Greenland in the news again. But due to quirks of cartography, some common maps show the territory much larger than it is.

If this Greenland nonsense makes people appreciate map projections maybe there's some benefit, though I'm sure if a certain someone found out it's real size he'd be less keen. Maybe Denmark price it based on Mercator 🀣 www.npr.org/2026/01/07/n...

Simple Automate flow to purge out old records from an #Arcgis Online feature service. Another process is archiving this data, but this could also be achieved in this flow.
