covered by the ice cap, containing 10% of the world's fresh
water.
From north to south there are 2670 km and from east to
west there are 1050 km.
The highest place on Greenland is Gunnbjørn Fjeld,
peaking at 3733 meters above sea level.
Only 56,000 people inhabits the country out of which
13,000 lives in the capital Nuuk.
