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.

Every continent is an island

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.
