Greenland

Greenland, the world’s largest island, is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. Known for its vast ice sheet, which covers about 80% of its land, Greenland has a rugged, pristine landscape of glaciers, fjords, and tundra. The capital, Nuuk, is the political and cultural center. The population, mostly Inuit, maintains a close connection to traditional lifestyles, including hunting and fishing. Greenland’s economy relies on fishing, tourism, and limited mining, with potential in rare earth minerals and energy resources. Climate change significantly impacts the island, with melting ice creating both challenges and opportunities. Greenlandic (Kalaallisut) is the official language, and the culture reflects Inuit traditions combined with Danish influences, creating a unique Arctic identity.
