Is Greenland inhabited?

Greenland is inhabited. The total population is 78,300, of which native Greenlanders account for more than 80% of the total population, and foreign Danes account for about 1/6 of the total population. Greenlanders are mostly Inuit, but they are usually mixed with early European immigrants. By A.D. 1980, the pure Inuit were only found near Thule in the northwest and in East Greenland. The inhabitants of Greenland are extremely scattered, and most of them are confined to small settlements in coastal areas.

There is a story about the origin of the name of 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 2 166000 square kilometers. About 3/4 of the island is in the Arctic Circle. The average annual temperature in Greenland is below 0℃, and the coldest central inland area can reach -70℃. Standing on the green land, chanting "Thousands of miles of ice, Wan Li snow" can find a full feeling. All kinds of icebergs and glaciers have become the wonders of Greenland.
