    There's also the political factor, Denmark is paying because they want to inhabit the island with Danish citizens for political reasons. Without people living there, they would have no real claim to the island. And the Greenlanders can't survive on fishing alone. So, either Denmark have to pay people to live there or almost all of them would move to Copenhagen.

    You sure it includes the subsidy? That info usually isn’t included in GDP. And if you added $600MM to the $3.1B, it would move their GDP per capita to $63k which would exactly match Denmark. So that seems more right if that is the purpose of the subsidy. And even if you took $600MM off their $3.1B GDP, the GDP per capita drops from $53k to $43k which is still pretty good… top 25 in the world.

    In 1974 I spent a year in Greenland with the US Air Force at Sondrestrom AB now listed as Kangerlussuaq. I had a pilot's license so got to fly a private aero club airplane into the fjords and by the glaciers in the local areal. Saw herds of Musk Ox and Caribou. Was not to happy during the freezing total darkness of winter but the summer was fantastic. Flew on a supply airplane and landed on the ice cap at one of the radar sites and the east coast at Tasiilaq. Beautiful but rugged country.

    It's great to see a video about the amazing country that Greenland is, trying to educate the world on it. Unfortunately there are a lot of inaccuracies in your video, so for you and especially for all other who might view this video, please be aware of these: 1. The name of Greenland DOES NOT come from some marketing trick. It doesn't. It's wrong. It is called Greenland because it is actually green in the area where Erik the red settled. That's it. 2. Greenland IS a country. It is not a sovereign nation, but it is a country. The most correct translation of it to english would be "Autonomous constituent country". 3. Oil and gas ARE NOT inustries in Greenland - also, mineral extraction is not that big yet, construction and tourism are much bigger at the moment. 4. While the stats for the temperatures are correct, they are averages. It is not uncommon to see temperatures below minus 15 degrees celsius in Nuuk during the winter, and in the summer it often reaches well above the numbers shown. 5. There are NO roads between cities - not "virtually no roads". That is unless you count Qinngorput and Nussuaq as their own cities, but they are generally considered to be part of Nuuk. Also, there is an ATV track/dirt path between Sisimiut and Kangerlussuaq. 6. You are also not correct about the reason why there are no roads between cities. It is much more complex than that, but it is not because it would require a ferry sevice - something which there actually is. The reason is more because of the incredible distances between cities, the culture and history of the country, the difficulties in acutally building such, and the lack of ressources. 7. Not all towns/settlements are along the coast, depending on how you define it. Kangerlussuaq, the airport city, is located in the bottom of one of the deepest/longest fjords, which technically puts it on a coast, but it is not considered as such - at least not in Greenland. 8. While rent prices are higher in London, that is also not a great comparison seeing as London has some of the highest rent prices in the world. The rent prices in Greenland are also quite high.

    I really hate the story that Eric the Red lied by calling it Greenland, because I understand that the climate was quite different back then, to the point where Newfoundland warranted the name Vinland. Indeed, at the time, the southern reaches of Greenland were green enough to support a colony, and I imagine that the name was only intended to apply to that part, and it was only much later that the name was applied to the entire island, none of which, by that time, was still green enough.

    Greenland of all places on this planet is about to take the biggest hit from "Mother Nature" in the coming months. I wrote a poem some years ago once again around the same time as the disaster movie also called "Greenland" The biggest problem lays beneath the ground and that is volcanic activity which sadly alters the future but not just this Island. It will in time affect the "Americas" and whilst that might sound in sane it will. There is a number of issues that at first, doesn't seem worthy of worrying about, until one key event unlocks all the others leaving us very little time and because of its location it is near impossible to deal with. We normally associate a "Chain Reaction" with nuclear bombs, but this is on a totally different level. This grand design is purely "Mother Nature" and it was not the place I would expect such drama to take place. With the Permafrost melting this has the potential to escalate global warming by shifting it up a gear. The other present danger is the release of the next pandemic due to the thawing of the ice. The Islands population albeit small will have to flee, which sees an increase refugees and the impact that will have on neighboring countries, Europe being at the top of the list. It was about 3 years ago, when I wrote the poem which troubled me at the time.

    Greenland is Iceland. Iceland is Greenland. In other words, Greenland is like a sheet of ice topographically and Iceland was self named to fool people into believing the land wasn’t worth invading even though it is much greener than Greenland.

    I am from Norway. I was in Grenland last year. I was flying from Oslo (Norway) - Reykjavik (Iceland) - Nuuk (Greenland) *Denmark is part of Schengen, EU and Council of Europe *Greenland is NOT part of Schengen, NOT part of EU and their autonomous hovedmeny is not members of Council of Europa, but at the same time the goverment of Kingdom of Denmark is a part of Council of Europe, and since greenland is under the kingdom its KIND OF politically a part of europe but still a geographic part of North America But since is not located in Europe, and their autonomous goverment is not a part of Council of Europe, and since they are not Schengen members, I woulden’t see them as complete politically european either. They have a different phone code, a different internet code, and other agreements on international call’s on phonecall prices between european countries If you travle from Norway or Iceland to Denmark, there is no passport controll, just sometimes random control’s. But traveling from Iceland to Greenland I had to enter passport control before I enter the plane, and also when I arrived. All this got me a feeling of not beeing in Europe
