Greenland...Not so green

The next spot to be filled belongs to Greenland.Greenland is a country within the Kingdom of Denmark.It just so happens to be the largest island in the world.Although, it is an island that is big enough to be an entire continent, it holds a little under 58 thousand people.

This magnificent place is filled with plenty, wide open space. Many people think that because the name of this place is Greenland, it should be filled with the wide open fields of green grass, when in fact, this place has an ice sheet that covers about 80% of the land.
Most of the inhabitants of this area still remain the Inuit Eskimos.88% of the natives are Inuit Eskimos to be exact.

Here in Greenland the sport of choice is European football and to make money here the people of Greenland export fish.

Of course being a mountainous snow filled area, you can go skiing and sledding.

One cool natural phenomena in Greenland are the natural hot springs that are spread throughout.If you feel adventurous you can slip into something a little more comfortable and slip into the spring.You wouldn't have to worry about freezing because the water is hot enough to bathe in.The temperature never reaches over 50 degrees in the hot summer months.This weather may be colder than what we are used to here but it does not stop sightseers from taking in nature hikes or boat tours along the coast.

On these tours or hikes many native animals can be seen going about their business. Some of the animals included are: reindeer, narwhal, walruses, polar bears and most exiting the Humpback whale.

If you are lucky enough to travel here and take a whale-watching tour, you will see firsthand the 79,000 pound mammal swim up and slam its wide tail on the cold ocean surface.

One other sightseeing tour you can go on is iceberg cruising.By boat or by small plane, you can actually get close and personal with the huge mounds of frozen ice that date back thousands of years ago.
