Greenland is a self-governed province under the rule of the Kingdom of Denmark. Denmark controls the overseas affairs of Greenland in consultation with the Home Rule Government of the island. Greenland is located in the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, between North America and Europe. Greenland’s total area measures 2,166,086 square kilometers (836,109 square miles), making it the largest island in the world.

Almost all of the population of Greenland lives along the coastal regions in which there is no ice.
