Greenland is one of the largest islands in the world. It is located close to the North Pole, and it neighbors the North American continent to the northeast. Greenland is a cool territory of the Denmark Kingdom. Lands that are close to Greenland are Iceland, Canada, and Norway. The official language in Greenland is Greenlandic. The population in Greenland is very low compared to same size territories such as Australia and Mexico region.
This could be because of its large cover of ice that is unfavorable to human settlement. During the summer, a small area of the island especially the coastal region melts completely into green lands, a source of enticement snatched by the historic Erik the Red, in making Iceland settlers to shift to the island during the summer period. There are only two ways of accessing Greenland Island from neighboring countries and other parts of the world. When using airplanes, you can land in either the Kangerlussuaq or the Narsarsuaq Airports. The capital city of Nuuk also has an international airport that operates flights between the city and Iceland and Canada. Airlines that operate international flights between Greenland and other parts of the world are Air Greenland (the national carrier) and Air Iceland. Ferry transport is available only from Iceland using the Hurtigruten cruise ships. Read more...http://themisanthropesjournal.blogspot.com
