Iceland is 93.3× the size of Martinique
Iceland (Europe) covers about 102,000 km² (39,500 mi²) and Martinique (overseas region of France) about 1,100 km² (424 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

What fits
- Martinique fits inside Iceland about 93.3 times by area.
- Iceland is larger by 101,000 km² (39,100 mi²), which is 9,229% of the area of Martinique.
- Measured in Belgiums: Iceland is about 3.34, Martinique about 0.04.
How they differ
- Iceland also has the larger population: 364,000 against 361,000, 1.01× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 329 in Martinique against 3.6 in Iceland: Martinique is 92.5× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 6,440 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Iceland at 65°N is drawn about 5.6× too large and Martinique at 15°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Iceland as 489× the size of Martinique instead of 93.3×.
- Together Iceland and Martinique cover 103,000 km², close to the size of South Korea (98,500 km², 4.8% smaller).
- The gap between them, 101,000 km², is about the size of South Korea (98,500 km²).
- At Martinique's density, Iceland would have 33.7 million people (it has 364,000). At Iceland's density, Martinique would have 3,900 (it has 361,000).
- Iceland's centre is 50.3° of latitude, about 5,600 km, farther north than Martinique's.
- Iceland ranks 108th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Martinique is the 17th largest of the 18 regions of France and covers 0.2% of its area; it is the 4th most densely populated of them.
- Iceland lies about 50° of latitude (roughly 5,600 km) north of Martinique.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Iceland would have about 281,090 m² and each person in Martinique about 3,040 m².
- Laid side by side, Iceland and Martinique would cover 103,000 km², 1.05× the size of South Korea.
- Together they have 725,000 people, 1.05× as many people as Luxembourg.
- Martinique is drawn from 72 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.
- Counted as a country, Martinique would rank 184th by area and 178th by population.

Population: Wikidata 2019 and Wikidata 2022. Official figures: Wikidata (CC0).
- Wikidata's official figure of 103,000 km² agrees with our measured area of 102,000 km², to within 2%.
- Our measured 1,100 km² is 2.7% below Wikidata's official figure of 1,130 km². Official figures can include inland water or count land that an outline draws differently.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain for the region; Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, public domain
- Boundary
- De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. A region is drawn whole, every island included; a country is its main territory.
- Area
- Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded.
- Drawing
- Each outline is projected with an equal-area projection centred on its own centroid, so areas stay true and the two can be laid over each other.
