It looks huge on a Mercator Projection map even though it isn’t that large.

In the Mercator projection it appears to have about the same area as Africa, while in reality it is about a 14th of it. But, I wouldn't say that "isn't that large": if Greenland was independent it would be (and Denmark is, because of it) the 12th largest country in the world.
