Heard Island and McDonald Islands covers 419 km² km² on the new Equal Earth world map — 0.0%% of all land on Earth, making it the 198th largest country in the world and the 14th largest in Oceania. At 53° latitude the old Mercator map inflates area by about 2.8×, so it drew Heard Island and McDonald Islands closer to 1,161 km² km² — a difference of roughly 177%%.
