Groenland
Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, lies on the world's largest island in North America, 81% of it covered by ice. It is home to 56,421 people, 89% of them Inuit. The capital, Nuuk, is the administrative and cultural centre. The island is famous for its fjord coastline, its highest peak Gunnbjorn Fjeld (3,700 m above sea level) and the largest national park in the world. Summers are cool (0-10 °C) and winters harsh (-20 °C). Greenland is best visited in summer, when the days are longer and nature comes back to life.
