Greenland

About this destination

Greenland (Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaat, "Land of the Greenlanders"; Danish: Grønland) is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, situated between the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, east of the Canadian Arctic Islands. Although geographically part of the North American continent, Greenland is politically and culturally associated with Europe (owing to its historical ties with Denmark and Norway). The country, aside from a number of smaller islands, is almost entirely formed by one large island that is also called Greenland. Greenland was inhabited, though not continuously, by Indians since 2500 BC.
