Why does Greenland disappear for some of the projections?
2 comments

Also the UK is missing from the Mercator projection.
And Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Cuba, Madagascar.

I think the bug is related to islands!

Weirdly these missing islands persist into the lower projections, unless you first select a higher projection on the list and then proceed with the lower ones (skipping Mercator)
It's actually just the Mercator projection that is broken for some reason. Lots of things are missing.
"Denmark opted out of paying the mapping API license fee to Miller Cylindrical LLC, and so Greenland has been omitted from the data product for your convenience."
