Extended data

Natural environment—

Greenland is not only the largest island on earth, but also an island covered with snow and ice in most areas (about 8 1.7%). Greenland's continental glaciers (or ice sheets) cover an area of 1.8 1.3 million square kilometers, and their average ice thickness reaches 2300 meters, which is similar to the Antarctic continental ice sheet. Greenland contains 3 million cubic kilometers of ice and snow, accounting for 5.4% of the world's total fresh water.

If all the ice and snow in Greenland melt, the global sea level will rise by 7.5 meters. And if all the ice and snow in Antarctica melt, the global sea level will rise by 66 meters. It reaches Piridi in the north and Cape Farwell in the south, with a distance of 2,574 kilometers, the widest point of about 1.290 kilometers and the coastline of more than 35,000 kilometers.
