If the Cantor tree is homeomorphic to a subset of the sphere, how can it possibly have infinite genus?

Bad use of illustration

The illustration of some aspect of the Alexander horned sphere is a particularly bad way to show the reader what the subject of this article looks like.

I am not opposed to including this interesting picture in the article ... towards the end. But if there is going to be just one illustration, there are pictures that are a great deal more useful for conveying what the Cantor tree surface looks like. 2601:200:C000:1A0:9564:83C:87A8:95F4 (talk)
