Greenland, the world’s largest island, is officially a part of the North American continent but is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. It is known for its vast tundra and glaciers which cover much of its landmass, which stretches about 1,660 miles from south to north, from the 59th to the 83rd latitudinal lines, with a large part of its land within the Arctic Circle.

Nearly ninety percent of the 56,000 Greenlanders are principally of Inuit extraction. The remaining citizens are Danish, most of whom were born in Denmark. Approximately ninety percent of the Greenland population live in urban areas, including the capital of Nuuk, which has a population of nearly 20,000 inhabitants.

Greenland’s major physical feature is its massive ice sheet, which is second only to Antarctica’s in size. The Greenland Ice Sheet covers more than 700,000 square miles, more than eighty percent of Greenland’s total land area. Long, deep fjords reach far into both the east and west coasts of Greenland, providing desolate and strikingly beautiful scenery. The ice sheet borders much of the Greenland coast where large chunks of ice regularly separate from the ice sheet and form icebergs that move away from the coastline.
