Norway's coast: A cartographer's nightmare |
Welcome to the coastline paradox—a geographic brain teaser where the length of a coastline depends entirely on how closely you measure it. |
Take Norway. If you measure its jagged coast with a 100 km ruler, you'll get around 25,000 km.
But switch to a 1 km ruler, and suddenly, it stretches beyond 100,000 km. That's longer than the equator!
Why? Norway's coast is full of nooks, crannies, and fjords. The smaller the measurement unit, the more detail you capture—and the longer the coastline becomes.
This occurrence isn't a math error—it's just nature being delightfully complicated. |
