The Coastline Paradox: How Long Is a Shoreline?

A Deep Dive into why coastline length isn’t fixed. As measurement scales get finer, coastlines reveal more nooks and crannies, hinting at fractal geometry and even infinite lengths in theory. We explore the math behind the paradox, its historical roots, and the real-world implications for borders, maritime law, and coastal management—and tease how mapmakers tackle these challenges in the next episode.
