Greenland

Location Overview

Greenland is the largest island in the world, inhabited only by about 60,000 people. It is a country dependent mostly on foreign trade, with about one quarter of its income from fishing. Eight-five percent of the country is covered by ice; in some parts it is 2 miles thick. Attractions include the Greenland National Museum, showcasing 15th-century mummies.
