Question: How much coastline does Finland have?

Shoreline paradox

The shoreline paradox is a counterintuitive observation regarding shoreline length that a shoreline does not have a single-concept measurable length: length depends on measurement accuracy.


Question: How much coastline does Finland have?

Shoreline paradox

The shoreline paradox was observed by Lewis Fry Richardson.

Statistical Self-Similarity and Fractional Dimension”.


Question: How much coastline does Finland have?

Shoreline paradox

The shoreline is measured by measuring the distance between two points, from which one continues to the next point.


Question: How much coastline does Finland have?

Shoreline paradox

The exact length of the shoreline therefore depends on the choice of measurement points and measurement accuracy: if the shoreline is measured with a kilometre long “measuring stick”, you have to bypass small bends, and if measured with a metre long measuring stick you have to bypass bends caused by small rocks.


Question: How much coastline does Finland have?

Shoreline paradox

The more accurately the shoreline is measured, the smaller the bends must be taken into account.


Question: How much coastline does Finland have?

Shoreline paradox

Under the triangle inequation, replacing the strand between two points with a break line can only increase the total length.


Question: How much coastline does Finland have?

Shoreline paradox

Thus, shoreline length tends to increase as measurement accuracy increases.
