I think your piece of land is spherical like one whole planet. There is no way to place a fence around it, because the fence would never be able to cover the land. Therefore your piece of land is finite, and your fence is infinite.

Hmmm... Maybe the in, in infinite means not because incorrect is not correct so I think the land is ongoing but not the fence length is not finite
