We demonstrate that the complete and non-redundant set of Landau singularities of Feynman integrals may be explicitly obtained from the Whitney stratification of an algebraic map. As a proof of concept, we leverage recent theoretical and algorithmic advances in their computation, as well as their software implementation, in order to determine this set for several nontrivial examples of two-loop integrals. Interestingly, different strata of the Whitney stratification describe not only the singularities of a given integral, but also those of integrals obtained from kinematic limits, e.g.~by setting some of its masses or momenta to zero.
