Let's take it to the top of the map!

Greenland is big. As a matter of fact, it is the world's largest island. Greenland, despite it's name, is not verdant, but an icy and cold terrain which lies almost completely in the arctic circle. The icebergs and snow serve as the backdrop for a peculiar event every March: the Ice Golf World Championship in Uummannaq. 

Geographically, Greenland is part of North America, but politically, it is part of Europe. Officially, Greenland is part of Denmark, but the island is administered by its own government and the majority of the population is Inuit. Let's travel!
