Did you know that Ireland and Iceland are the only countries in Europe with no snakes? In fact, there are only three more places on Earth with no snakes besides these two: Greenland, Cape Verde, and New Zealand.
Here's another interesting fact: China, which is nearly as wide as the contiguous United States, has only one time zone known as Beijing Time. Meanwhile, the contiguous U.S. has four primary time zones.
And lastly, although Greenland and Africa seem to have comparable sizes when looking at a map, Greenland is actually 14 times smaller than Africa. This discrepancy is due to the Mercator projection.
