Greenland is
an autonomous country within the Kingdom
of Denmark, located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, east of the Canadian
Arctic Archipelago. Though physiographically a part of the continent of North
America, Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with Europe
(specifically Norway and later Denmark) for more than a millennium. In
2008, the people of Greenland passed a referendum supporting greater autonomy; 75% of votes cast were in favour.
Greenland is, in area, the world's largest island, over three-quarters of which
is covered by the only contemporary ice sheet outside of Antarctica. Source
