I found an excerpt of this image first on Floyd McClung’s post on Africa maps which set me to trying to confirm if it was accurate — the full image is from Information Is Beautiful.
But it has a flaw — the relative visual sizes of the countries are wrong because “the countries were not projected in equal area form”… Kenneth Field to the rescue:
And this was fun old picture from Big Think:
Africa is a big, big place, rich in natural resources, full of people, and white unto harvest.
Part of our learning today was drawing our home ie. Earth. So we set out to draw a globe, showing Africa. I was again amazed at the size of Africa, when I found pictures like this.

Africa is indeed huge!
