Present-day Greenland is an autonomous sovereign state of the Kingdom of Denmark. However, it was ruled by numerous foreign and indigenous powers back in the day. The earliest traces of Greenland date back to about 4500 years from now when the Paleo-Eskimo cultures prevailed in the region. In between 2500 BCE and 800 BCE, the major cultures of Paleo-Eskimos that dominated the country include Saqqaq culture, Independence I culture, Dorset culture, and Independence II culture.

Later, Greenland became home to Icelanders and Norwegians as they settled on the west coast of the country in the late 10th century. This all resulted in the development of the Norse settlement, which later came under the Kingdom of Norway. These Norse settlements dominated for centuries. Meanwhile, the Thule culture that came from the North became immensely popular. As per historical evidence, it is believed that the people living in present-day Greenland are the descendants of the Thule culture.

In between the early 16th century and 17th century, numerous expeditions to Greenland were made by several groups on the orders of the king of Denmark. Gradually, Denmark settled in the region and within no time became the de facto ruler of the country.

Later on, when the union between Denmark and Norway dissolved, the treaty of Kiel was signed and with this, entire Greenland came into the hands of the Danish Monarch. However, after World War II and the intervention of the United States, Greenland became an independent state of the Kingdom of Denmark.

Today, the country runs on its own set of rules and regulations and has also become a thriving center of tourism. People from all over the world visit it to explore its natural charm. From glaciers to polar wildlife and midnight sun to whale watching activities, everything is popular amongst international travelers.

Spread over an area of more than 2.1 million square kilometers, Greenland is located in between the Arctic and the Atlantic Ocean in the proximity of countries like Iceland and Canada. It is the largest island in the world as Australia is often considered a continent.

As Greenland is an island nation, it does not have land boundaries. However, it surely has a coastline running for more than 44,000 kilometers.

Out of the total area of 2.1 million sq. km, only about 16% makes for the land region, while the remaining 84% make up the ice sheet.

It has streams, glaciers, springs, lakes, mountains, hills, rugged terrains and of course, shores. Hence, it can be said that the country hosts a wide variety of natural wonders and is a perfect place for nature lovers to spend a fulfilling vacation.

Borglum, Gudenelv, Zackenberg, Primulaelv, and Marrakajik are the major rivers flowing in the country. About 400 subglacial lakes are present in Greenland and Lake Vostok with a length of 250 km is the largest of them all. The lowest point in the country is the sea level at 0 meters and the highest point is Gunnbjorn at 3694 meters.

Today, you would find people listening to jazz and rock as well as enjoying folk and local compositions. The country hosts several music festivals and Arctic sound is the most prominent one.

Food and Drink
