That outline is like the entire continental shelf, or all the area where the glaciers are directly over rock (as opposed to having ocean in between), or something like that.
But if the ice weren’t there, not all of it would actually be above sea level:
Might actually be smaller than Australia if the ice were gone, give or take things like sea level rise and isostatic rebound.
https://niy.ai/worldmap lets you reproject Mercator to put any landmass you want in the middle by clicking on it, but it doesn’t have that overlay thing.
I mean it’s greatly exaggerated on Mercator but it’s definitely not tiny.
It’s bigger than Australia

TIL that Antarctica is an archipelago.
You’re an archipelago
If the ice weren’t there a lot of the other continents would also be below sea level
Hence “most other continents”
Yeah it’s smaller but not tiny
Nice. What did you use for that one?

Also bigger than Texas
It’s just like they say: “everything’s bigger than Texas!”
