Kalaallit Nunaat

Kalaallit Nunaat is the native name for Greenland, the world’s largest island located in the Arctic region. It is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, with its own government responsible for domestic affairs. The island is characterized by vast ice sheets, rugged coastlines, and sparse population mainly of Kalaallit (Inuit) people. Despite its size, Greenland has a cold climate and limited farming, relying heavily on fishing, mining, and tourism. Its indigenous culture, language, and history are central to its identity, and it plays a strategic role in Arctic exploration and environmental research.
