Maybe I’m not understanding. Isn’t Australia an island, so wouldn’t it show as some kind of “lake” like new Zealand is?

I was confused as well and I found this coloured version and this version with sea connections (green for Panama and Suez canal) that helped me to understand!

Thank you.

Still kinda a weird how they have it laid out. Granted I’m no cartographer, I don’t know the struggles of projecting a sphere on a plane.

The Continental divides split the continents in half as there’s no water that goes fully over them. That’s awesome!

Europe and Asia claim otherwise.

That’s because they’re only fake continents who don’t realize they’re just parts of Afro-eurasia.

Hell, Europe is just a peninsula with delusions of grandeur.
