Around 80% of Greenland is covered by the Greenland Ice Sheet, which is the "largest and possibly the only relic of the Pleistocene glaciations in the Northern Hemisphere." But has it always been so icy? Well, at the bottom of a 1.4 km core sample, which was taken in 1966 at Camp Century during the Cold War, researchers found "well-preserved fossil plants and biomolecules," which means that the massive sheet melted and reformed at least once in the last million years.
.
The name Greenland means "Land of People."
.
The Ilulissat Icefjord, a #UNESCO World Heritage Site, the most productive glacier in the Northern Hemisphere.
.
Greenland has a population of roughly 56,000, about 17,000 of whom live in the capital #Nuuk.

Fishing and grants from Denmark are the primary sources of income for inhabitants in Greenland. In recent years, the country's tourism industry has been expanding as well.
.
Scientists have estimated that the Greenland ice sheet is between 400,000 and 800,000 years old.

Greenland was a Danish colony until 1953, when it became a country. It attained home rule in 1979 and began full self-government in 2009. The government is a constitutional monarchy, with a 31-member unicameral parliament called Landsting and a premier. The country sends two representatives to the Danish Folketing. The nominal head of state is the Danish Queen.

The largest town in southern Greenland is #Qaqortoq, which has been occupied for about 4,300 years. Stop by the Qaqortoq museum for a glimpse back in time with an art collection from the Dorset, Thule and Norse cultures.
.
In mid-March – #IceGolf World Championship in #Uummannaq. The 2-day event takes place on a a course cut on the ice, between icebergs and out in the snow fields.
.
Recent research indicate that the inhabitants of Greenland originated from eastern Siberia via Canada.
.
#Greenland had a closed and self-sufficient economy until World War II.
.
The country's flag has a polar bear in a blue shield – the polar bear is meant to symbolise the fauna of Greenland and the blue represents the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans.
