Abstract

Geologically and geographically Greenland is closely related to northern Canada and Scandinavia. Greenland, the largest island in the world, covers 2,175,600 km². It is 1,250 km from east to west and 2,675 km from north to south. The up to three kilometre thick Inland Ice covers some 80% of Greenland; the ice-free zone around the Inland Ice is up to 300 km wide and covers an area of approx. 410,000 km², which, by comparison, is larger than the area of Germany (357,000 km²).
