WELCOME TO GREENLAND

View of the country

Greenland, the world's largest island, boasts a vast expanse of 2.16 million square kilometers. Despite its colossal size, Greenland's population remains relatively small, with around 56,000 inhabitants. The island's economy relies heavily on fishing, as its waters teem with abundant marine life. Additionally, Greenland's rich mineral resources, including rare-earth elements and oil deposits, offer potential for economic growth and development. Tourism, centered around the island's breathtaking natural wonders like glaciers and fjords, also contributes to its economy. However, the remote location, extreme climate, and limited infrastructure pose challenges for sustainable economic diversification. Greenland continues to navigate a unique path towards balanced growth and preservation of its pristine environment.
