Greenland

Greenland is the world’s largest island, located in the North Atlantic Ocean, primarily within the Arctic Circle. It is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. The island is known for its vast ice sheet, stunning landscapes, and unique Arctic ecosystems. Greenland has a sparse population, predominantly Inuit, and its economy is mainly based on fishing, hunting, and emerging sectors like tourism and mining. The capital city of Greenland is Nuuk. The island’s geographical features include fjords, glaciers, and tundra, making it a significant area for climate research and exploration. Despite its name, Greenland’s predominantly icy terrain contrasts with its title, which was coined to attract settlers.
