Greenland is an
autonomous country within the
Kingdom of Denmark, located between the
Arctic and
Atlantic Oceans, east of the
Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Though
physiographically a part of the
continent of
North America, Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with
Europe (specifically
Norway and later
Denmark) for more than a
millennium.
[6] In 2008, the people of Greenland passed a
referendum supporting greater autonomy; 75% of votes cast were in favour. Greenland is, in area, the
world's largest island,
[7] over three-quarters of which is covered by the only contemporary
ice sheet outside of Antarctica. With a population of 56,370
[4] (2013), it is the
least densely populated country in the world.

Thank you Wikipedia.
Greenland was named Greenland so that people would migrate to Greenland and keep Iceland a secret. Greenland was mostly uninhabitable but the Canadians, Inuit and Norse fought the elements and has inhabited it for 4500 years. If you want the real history of Greenland go to Wikipedia.
There is all sorts of interesting information out there on the internet about Greenland and how to get there, what to do when you arrive etc. I want to share some pictures of Greenland.
