Visit Greenland

Greenland is the largest island in the world. It is situated on the North American continent and 85% of the country is covered by an ice cap. Greenland has a population of about 56,000. The central parts of West Greenland are the most densely populated. Most of the population – around 45,000 – live in the towns, of which Nuuk is the largest.

With a modern and well-functioning welfare system, where education, pension, health service and unemployment benefit are taken for granted, the development of Greenland’s home rule is in many ways a model for other indigenous population groups around the world. Home rule makes Greenland’s population self-governing in almost all domestic areas.
