Greenland is the size of Western Europe.
Around 80% is permanently covered by a huge ice cap – the Inland Ice / The Greenland Ice sheet.
The population lives scattered along the ice-free archipelago, with countless beautiful fjords and mountains.The inland ice or ice sheet has an area of 1.8 million km2.
Volume, 2.7 million km3 of ice – the equivalent of about 7% of all the fresh water on earth, estimated to a 7 meters rise in sea level worldwide if the ice sheet melt.
The highest point of the inland ice is 3,300 m above sea level and it is more than 3,500 m thick
The majority live in the lower part of West Greenland, while a small part lives in the northern Thule area, and in two demarcated areas on the rugged east coast.The official language is Greenlandic with Danish and English as second languages. Greenlandic – Kalaallisut – is closely related to languages spoken by Inuit in Canada and Alaska.
The flag of Greenland and its meaning:
On the 21st of June in 1985 Greenland adopted its current flag. It was designed by Thue Christiansen, a native of Greenland. The flag is called Erfalasorput, which literally means “our flag” in Greenlandic…
The flag has two colours, red and white, which symbolises its relationship with Denmark.
The flag is split by a horizontal line and has a circle a little bit to the left of its middle. The circle represents the sun and its warmth as it returns in midsummer.
