Greenland is the name of the largest island in the world. While often thought to be part of the North American continent, Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. Covering approximately 2,166,086 square kilometers (836,331 square miles), it is primarily covered by ice, with a small percentage of land available for habitation and agriculture. The island is sparsely populated, with most residents being Inuit people who maintain a rich cultural heritage. Greenland's breathtaking landscapes include fjords, glaciers, and tundra, making it a unique destination for researchers, adventurers, and those interested in the effects of climate change.
