Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark with breathtaking Arctic landscapes and unique Inuit culture. The world largest island (excluding Australia) offers midnight sun, northern lights, and pristine nature. With only ~56,000 inhabitants, it is one of the most sparsely populated areas on Earth. Life in Greenland is characterized by extreme contrasts: high living costs (almost everything is imported), but a relatively simple tax system; modern infrastructure in Nuuk, but limited services in remote settlements; stunning nature, but also significant social challenges.
