Basic Information

About territory

Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, representing the largest landmass of the three constituent parts. Its history is marked by periods of Norse settlement beginning in 986, followed by centuries of Danish colonization. Geographically, it is the world's largest island, situated between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, and is predominantly covered by an ice sheet. Economically, Greenland relies heavily on financial aid from Denmark, constituting over 20% of its GDP. Despite its North American location, Greenland maintains strong political and cultural ties to Europe.
