Greenland is the largest island in the world.
Greenland is the largest island in the world, covering an area of approximately 2.16 million square kilometers (836,330 square miles). Despite its massive size, Greenland is sparsely populated, with the majority of its terrain covered by ice sheets. It is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark and has a population of around 56,000 people, primarily of Inuit descent. The island's unique geographical and climatic conditions make it a significant subject of study for climate scientists, particularly in understanding the impacts of global warming.
