Greenland is without a doubt the destination in the Arctic that sees the fewest tourists in the summer and is also the one that the least amount of people are familiar with. It is also one of the most fascinating locations in the world. Greenland is enormously enormous and incredibly white, two features that undoubtedly both contribute to the attractiveness and make it more than a bit frightening to plan a visit. If you have ever taken even a cursory look at a global map, you are bound to be aware of these facts. Greenland is an Arctic conservation area comparable to only a few others, both on land and within the oceans that shape it, and it is populated by a historic Inuit culture that has developed to the rhythm of its own drum. However, size and ice aren't the only things that Greenland has going for it; there is so much more to it than that.
Before you start making travel plans to Greenland, you should familiarize yourself with the following really fun facts about Greenland. Take a look:
1. Greenland Really Was Green
Why is Greenland still named Greenland if it is always frozen over? Greenland is a white Arctic country because of all the snow and ice that blankets it. If it's not green, then why is it called "Greenland"? Well, this surely is one of the most interesting facts about Greenland that you might not know. But don’t worry, the story isn’t that complex. The murderer Erik the Red of Iceland, who was sent there, is responsible for the island's unusual moniker. He chose the name "Greenland" in the belief that it would encourage immigration. South Greenland (where Erik the Red made his home) is surprisingly lush during the summer months. According to researchers, however, Greenland was a lush greenery over 2.5 million years ago. New research shows that ancient earth was chilled kept for millions of years, buried beneath roughly two miles of ice.

2. World’s Largest Island
Greenland is a huge island, around the area of Western Europe. Remember that it is the world's 12th biggest nation while making plans for your trip. When additional islands in the vicinity are included in, the total land surface of Greenland rises to 2.16 million square kilometers (836,330 sq miles). An arctic ice extends over about 80 percent of whole land area. While the ice-free region is small compared to the rest of the planet, it is nevertheless around the area of Sweden. Among the world's least populous nations, its 56,480 residents make it a rarity in terms of population density.

3. Greenland is an Autonomous country
Another fun fact about Greenland is that in spite of being a part of Denmark, Greenland operates independently as a sovereign nation. Greenland has really been historically and culturally linked to Europe for the better part of a thousand years, despite its North American location. Denmark has had settlements in Greenland as of 1721; in 1953, the nation officially became a part of Denmark. After being awarded Home Rule by Denmark in 1979, Greenland was then inaugurated into extended Self Rule in 2009, providing even more authority and responsibility to the Greenlandic government. Greenland will be able to take up additional duties from Denmark in accordance with the new framework as and when it is ready to do so.

4. Greenland has the lowest population density of almost any country on the planet.
Despite its size, the city is home to barely 56,000 people. That translates to a population density of only 0.03 individuals per square kilometer. There is plenty of space to be alone even in the nation's capital, as the population is not fairly spread out and no one lives in the great majority of the island.
