      Greenland is frequently shown as ‘No data’ due to a lack of data reporting,possibly due to the low population idk. New Zealand gets left off maps frequently, which is why someone added it in a comment.

      The legend on this map is saying Greenland and New Zealand have no data, not that they will be above sea level or that it isn’t covered in ice. It is purely a joke about gaps in data.

      Somehow explaining it did not make it less funny.
