Greenland is the world’s largest island of 810,810 square miles, which is the same as France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Austria and Belgium put together. It boasts the Northern Hemisphere’s largest ice sheet — 694,981 square miles, which covers 85 percent of Greenlands total area.
The Greenland climate is arctic to sub-arctic, but the distance
between north and south means that there are tremendous differences in temperature and climate. Due to the dry air, the cool summers feel surprisingly comfortable.
In general, summer temperatures are highest inland and coolest along the coasts. But you will be surprised to know that warm + 70° F days are not uncommon during the summer!
