Η Γροιλανδία  είναι Δανική περιοχή με αυτοδιάθεση. Το νησιωτικό αρκτικό αυτό κράτος τοποθετείται γεωγραφικά, πολιτιστικά και δημογραφικά στη Βόρεια Αμερική, ενώ πολιτικά η Γροιλανδία αποτελεί μέρος της Ευρώπης.

Νοτιοανατολικά της Γροιλανδίας βρίσκονται ο Ατλαντικός ωκεανός και η Ισλανδία, ανατολικά η Γροιλανδική θάλασσα, βόρεια ο Αρκτικός ωκεανός και δυτικά ο κόλπος Μπάφιν και ο Καναδάς.

Η Γροιλανδία είναι το μεγαλύτερο νησί και η μεγαλύτερη εξαρτώμενη περιοχή του κόσμου με βάση την έκταση. Περίπου το 81% της έκτασής της καλύπτεται με πάγο.

Από τις 21 Ιουνίου του 2009 η κυβέρνηση της Γροιλανδίας έχει μεγαλύτερη αυτονομία από τη Δανία με περισσότερες αρμοδιότητες και δικαίωμα εκμετάλλευσης των πλούσιων φυσικών πόρων του εδάφους της, σύμφωνα με το el.wikipedia.org.

Here is a little series of ice from Nuup Kangerlua – Nuuk Fjord. Did you know that Nuuk Fjord is the second largest fjord system in the world? And that there are several glaciers at the end of the icefjord. – 📸 Photo: Matthew Littlewood – #greenland #visitgreenland #greenlandpioneer #nunarputnuan

«I’ve posted multiple shots of this iceberg. We were so fortunate to be able to see it up close. And no matter how many times I look at these shots, it never gets old. Each one from a different angle and different light, it was breathtaking.» . 📸 @amalspix – Thank you so much for sharing this out of this world photo! Light and the texture of the iceberg is truly breathtaking, and not even talking about the sense of scale! Just wow! #greenlandpioneer #visitgreenland #nunarputnuan #iceberg #photography
