What is the history of Greenland?

Greenland (English: Greenland; Gronland, Denmark, Kalaallit Nunaat, Greenland) is the largest island in the world, with an area of 2 166086 square kilometers (836330 square miles), located in the northeast of North America, between the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. It is 2,574 kilometers from Piridi in the north to Cape Farwell in the south, and its widest point is about 1290 kilometers. The coastline is more than 35,000 kilometers long. Danish territory. The capital, Nuuk (also known as [〔Godthab〕]).

Greenland literally means "Greenland" in Danish, the official language. Why does this land with thousands of miles of ice and white clothes enjoy such a spring name? There is a story about the origin of the name Greenland. According to legend, in ancient times, around 982 AD, there was a Norwegian pirate who set out from Iceland in a small boat and planned to cross the ocean. All his friends think he is too bold and worry about his safety. Later, he found a piece of water grass less than one kilometer south of Greenland, which was green and liked it very much. After returning home, he proudly said to his friends, "I not only came back safely, but also found a green continent!" " So Greenland became its permanent name. Greenland is the largest island in the world, with an area of 2175,000 square kilometers. About four-fifths of the island is in the Arctic Circle. The temperature in Greenland is below 0℃ all year round, and the coldest in some places can reach MINUS 70℃!

Because there is only snow and no rain all year round, Greenland has no permafrost except for a few areas such as the southwest coast, only a few trees and green spaces, and other areas are ice and snow kingdoms. Standing on the green land, chanting "Thousands of miles of ice, Wan Li snow" can find a full feeling. 85% of the island is covered by glaciers and heavy icebergs. All kinds of icebergs and glaciers have become the wonders of Greenland, and they have developed rich associations with them. There are a lot of bubbles in the ice in Greenland, which will make a continuous popping sound when put into water. This is a very good cold drink. People call it "permanent ice". This kind of ice is clean and high in purity, so it is a rare enjoyment to drink "ice for ten thousand years" in hot summer. Greenland is rich in "permanent ice", with an average thickness of 2300 meters, second only to the modern huge continental glaciers in Antarctica.
