I see an urgent need for a map projection that makes Greenland look as small as possible. What are the options?

I’m not sure what your intent is, but I think the interest in Greenland is more about location than size.

This projection makes it look small, but highlights how Greenland sits right between Russia and the lower 48 of the US.
