I think Sierpinski's triangle may also be of interest here, which, contrastly, approaches zero surface area: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierpinski_triangle

not constrast; it's analogous, in lower dimension.

Sponge has infinite area and 0 volume. Sierpinski's triangle has infinite perimiter and 0 area.
