About
Greenland is the world's largest island, located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. It is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. Its capital city is Nuuk.
The nation's economy is developing, with its key industries being fishing, tourism, and, more recently, mining. Greenland has significant potential in natural resource extraction, particularly minerals like rare earth elements, zinc, and uranium, which have drawn international interest.
Greenlandic (Kalaallisut) is the official language of Greenland, with Danish also widely spoken, reflecting its colonial history. The population is ethnically diverse, primarily composed of Greenlandic Inuit and a smaller Danish community.
Greenland’s economy is heavily dependent on fishing and fish processing, which form the backbone of its export sector. Tourism is growing, with visitors attracted by Greenland's pristine natural beauty, including glaciers, fjords, and the Northern Lights. The island's culture is deeply rooted in its Inuit heritage, with traditions, art, and crafts reflecting this heritage.
Greenland is also known for its unique and harsh environment, with a landscape dominated by ice sheets and a sparse population. Despite these conditions, the island holds significant cultural and historical interest, with ancient Norse ruins and vibrant contemporary Inuit art and cultural expressions.
