Greenland: Denmark's self-governing polar island

Located in northeastern North America, Greenland is the world's largest island, with about 80% of its area covered by an ice cap and possessing unique polar glacial landscapes. As a self-governing territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, it has a high degree of autonomy in its internal affairs, with foreign affairs and defense being the responsibility of Denmark, and a population of about 56,000, predominantly Inuit, clustered in the ice-free coastal areas. The climate is cold, the winters are long and the summers are short, but the Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights attract tourists from all over the world. The economy is based on fishing, mineral extraction (e.g. rare earths, bauxite) and an emerging tourism industry, which in recent years has become increasingly valuable as a strategic resource and geopolitical position as a result of climate change-induced melting of the ice caps.
