10 Crazy But Totally True Facts About Greenland

Greenland is a massive island in the north Atlantic Ocean, lying between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. It covers an area of 1,267,072 square miles (33,224,000 square kilometers), making it larger than California. Greenland has a population of 56,000 people—about 20% of whom are indigenous Inuit people.

There is home to many unique features including glaciers and ice sheets that cover most of the island. The largest ice sheet covers an area about the size of Texas. The ice sheet covers about 80% of Greenland's surface with only 20% covered in vegetation.

In addition to being home to many natural wonders, Greenland has also been a source of controversy over the years. For example, it was used as a dumping ground for nuclear waste by the United States during the Cold War era before being closed off in 1987 due to concerns over damage caused by nuclear waste being stored on Greenland's surface without proper protection from contaminating winds or rainwater runoff into nearby rivers or lakes; this caused several cases of cancer among workers who handled nuclear waste at those facilities.

Greenland is a self-governing province of the Kingdom of Denmark. It was formally established as a Danish colony on June 19, 1953. Since the 1980s, Greenland's political system has evolved from a monarchy to a parliamentary democracy and its current constitution establishes it as a semi-presidential representative democracy.
