Figuring out the exact number of islands on Earth is difficult. It is believed that there are about 2000 islands in the world. They differ from each other in size, topography, climate, flora and fauna. Most big Island in the world is called Greenland.

This autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark is least densely populated area in the world. The population density of the island is 0.028 / km 2, and the number of people living there is 57,728 people. And these, for the most part, are not Europeans, but Greenland Eskimos (kalaallits) or descendants from mixed marriages of Danes with Eskimos. In 2009, the inhabitants of Greenland acquired the status of a separate people, and Denmark was assigned the protection of Greenland and the management of foreign affairs.

"Sandwiched" between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, Greenland is not a very hospitable land against the backdrop of even harsher waters. However, this island has long attracted the attention of polar explorers and is currently positioned as a place for adventure tourism.

Total area of ​​Greenland

Greenland covers 2,130,800 km². At the same time, 81% island square falls on the ice sheet. If we imagine that this ice completely melted, then this would lead to a rise in world sea level by 7 meters.

Where did the name "Greenland" come from?

This name, which is more reminiscent of "false advertising", has generated controversy among researchers. Some believe that during the discovery of Greenland local climate was much softer and coastal areas in the southwest, the islands were generously covered with vegetation, and according to others, the name "Greenland" was chosen by the discoverer Eirik the Red in order to attract settlers to the island. The source of the second version is the work of Ari the Wise, an 11th-century Icelandic chronicler. However, the first copy of his work belongs to the 13th century, and it was presumably supplemented by various authors. Therefore, such an explanation of the name "Greenland" can be treated with skepticism.

Iceland, however, was far more unlucky than Greenland. This land, which is washed by the warm Gulf Stream, was called "icy" because the settlers landed on it during severe frosts.
