Although part of the Greenland Kingdom of Denmark, the island's domestic rule is responsible for most domestic affairs. The people of Greenland are primarily Inuit (Eskimo). The capital of Greenland is Nowak (Godthab).

Land 

Texas, United States, is more than three times the size of Greenland, about 1 to 1,660 miles (2,670 km) from north to south, and 650 miles (1,050 km) from east to west at its widest location. Is greater than About two-thirds of the island is located in the Arctic Circle, and the northern boundary of the island is less than 500 800 miles (800 km) north of the pole. Greenland is only 16 miles (26 km) north of Canada's Ellesmere Island. The nearest European country is Iceland, 200 miles (320 km) southeast of the Danish Strait. Greenland's deepest holiday coastline is 24,430 miles (39,330 km) long, which corresponds to the Earth's atmosphere in the area of   the posts.

the people

Nearly one-tenth of the Greenlanders are primarily Inuit, or Eskimo; They are widely praised for the tensions of the early European immigrants. More than a tenth of the population is Danish, most of them born in Denmark.

Economy


Greenland's economy has long been based on fishing. Seal hunting was an important place of the economic system in the early 20th century, and was supplied by fishing, canning, and freezing of cod, crabs, and other marine life. The island's dependence on the fish industry, which suffers from high fishing and fluctuation pricing problems, became a growing concern at the end of the 20th century. Greenland sought to diversify its economy, and the tourist industry was heavily placed. Tourism revenue has grown significantly since the 1990s. The government, which receives substantial funding from Denmark, continues to play an important role in the economy. About half of the labor force works in the public sector.

 Agriculture is possible in southern ice-free regions, covering about 1 percent of Greenland's total area. Grass and garden vegetables are important crops to grow.  Polar bears are also raised for meat, and sometimes polar bears are caught for their meat and pigs. However, seafood - seals, walruses and whales are still the most important source of meat

Cultural life

Despite the Western Interfare with Denmark's presence in Greenland and, more recently, the increasing penetration of international mass media, the practice of traditional Inuit (Eskimo) cultural activities still matters. Box art and drum dances are popular, such as cake building and sailing. The island features numerous museums, including the Greenland National Museum and Archives in Novak. The Katouk Cultural Center also hosts concerts, art exhibitions and other cultural events in New York. There are many sports played in Greenland: Football (soccer) is very popular, such as skiing, badminton, handball, table tennis, tie coon doo and volleyball. The island's broadcasting company, Calalate Nunata Radio (KNR), offers radio and television programs in Greenland and Danish.

Earth Day: How the world's largest environmental movement was born Fifty years ago, 20 million Americans gathered to celebrate Earth Day. This was an event that affected environmental legislation for years to come. O n January 28, 1969, an explosion at a Union Oil platform spilled 100,000 barrels of crude oil on the Santa Barbara Channel and along the coast. At the time, it was the largest oil spill in American waters and the largest oil spill off the coast of California. Gladstone Hill, the New York Times' environmental correspondent, called it an "environmental" shot heard all over the world.

California Congressman Pat McCloskey will serve as co-chair, an...
