GREENLAND Five-sixths of Greenland, the world’s largest island, is buried under ice as much as 3 kilometres (two miles) thick the polar icecap. Only along the coast does one find a thin strip of ice-free land, a mountainous country slashed by countless fjords. With an area of 2,175,600 square kilometres (840,000 square miles), Greenland is more that 50 times the size of it’s mother country, Denmark. Greenland’s northwestern corner, known as the Thule region or Avanersuaq. The Place in the Farthest North, lies less that 800 miles from the North Pole. The last of the world’s traditional Inuit live here the Inuhuit, The Great People. Until 1818, the Inuhuit had thought they and their West Greenland cousins were the only people on the planet. Now with a population of about 900 in this district, these people live further north than any others on our planet and maintain a frugal existence as hunters.
