#Greenland# Greenland, is an island in Denmark, said to be an island, it is actually more like a continent, a continent smaller than Australia wants.
Located in the northeast of North America, Greenland is one of the Dominions of Denmark and is the largest island in the world, with an area of about 2,166,300 square kilometers.
Greenland is located at the junction of North America and Europe, connecting the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, facing Canada in the west, the Arctic Ocean in the north, the Atlantic Ocean in the south, and Iceland in Europe across the sea through the Danish Strait in the east.
Because Greenland is located near the Arctic Circle, the climate is cold, and it is close to North America, it has not developed a unique feature similar to Australia in the evolution of civilization and the evolution of organisms, which can be called an island in North America, but cannot be called a continent with a unique ecological environment and climatic characteristics like Australia.
Greenland is sparsely populated, dominated by European and American immigrants, Inuit and Indians, with the Arctic Inuit residents making up the majority.
From the discovery of Greenland by the Norwegians in 982 AD, it became a Danish-Norwegian colony in the thirteenth century, and European immigrants began to develop it, and after the partition of Denmark and Norway in 1841, it belonged to Denmark.
Greenland is about 50 times the size of mainland Denmark, but has a population of only about 56,000.
It is mainly based on mining and energy industry, fishery and tourism, and its mineral storage resources are abundant, and the potential of oil and natural gas is large, which is its economic pillar and rich in fishery resources.
Greenland is a world-renowned ice and snow tourist destination with its well-developed tourism industry, close to the North Pole, with polar days and nights.
