  1. \u00d8ya:<\/strong>\u00a0Gr\u00f8nland er faktisk verdens st\u00f8rste \u00f8y. Landarealet er p\u00e5 over 2,6 kvadratkilometer. Mange vil kanskje innvende at Australia er verdens st\u00f8rste \u00f8y, men mange betrakter Australia som et kontinent og sjelden som en egen \u00f8y. Australias areal er imidlertid betydelig st\u00f8rre, over 7,6 kvadratkilometer.<\/li>\n
  2. St\u00f8rrelse:<\/strong>\u00a0Vi har snakket om hvor stort landet er, men hva betyr det egentlig? Gr\u00f8nlands st\u00f8rrelse tilsvarer faktisk det samme som \u00e5 legge sammen arealet av Frankrike, Tyskland, England, Spania, Italia, \u00d8sterrike, Sveits og Belgia med Gr\u00f8nlands areal.<\/li>\n
  3. \n
    \u00d8rken:<\/strong>\u00a0Faktisk er det s\u00e5 lite nedb\u00f8r p\u00e5 Gr\u00f8nland at enkelte omr\u00e5der i landet omtales som \u00f8rken. Dette gjelder spesielt i de nordlige delene av landet, der det er mer vanlig \u00e5 kalle det arktisk \u00f8rken.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. Navn:<\/strong>\u00a0For \u00e5 v\u00e6re \u00e6rlig er Gr\u00f8nland mer hvitt enn gr\u00f8nt, s\u00e5 hvorfor fikk det navnet sitt? Det var faktisk vikingen Erik den R\u00f8de som fors\u00f8kte \u00e5 lokke folk hit ved \u00e5 gi det et mer tiltalende navn. Studier har imidlertid vist at landet faktisk var ganske gr\u00f8nt for millioner av \u00e5r siden.<\/li>\n
  5. Uavhengighet:<\/strong>\u00a0De fleste vet at Gr\u00f8nland er en del av kongeriket Danmark, og det g\u00e5r faktisk helt tilbake til 1721, da vi hadde kolonier der oppe. I 1953 ble Gr\u00f8nland en del av Danmark, men i 1979 fikk landet hjemmestyre, og siden da har selvstyret bare \u00f8kt.<\/li>\n
  6. Bes\u00f8k:<\/strong>\u00a0Gr\u00f8nland er et stort land som tar mye plass p\u00e5 verdenskartet, og det ligger dessuten ganske n\u00e6r b\u00e5de Canada og USA. Den eneste m\u00e5ten \u00e5 fly kommersielt til landet p\u00e5 er imidlertid \u00e5 fly fra Danmark eller Island.<\/li>\n
  7. Veier:<\/strong>\u00a0Det er en skrikende mangel p\u00e5 veier p\u00e5 Gr\u00f8nland. Mange vil til og med hevde at det ikke finnes veier p\u00e5 Gr\u00f8nland i det hele tatt. Det finnes noen provisoriske veier i selve byene, men mellom de ulike byene er det ingen. Man reiser med b\u00e5t, hundeslede, ferge, helikopter osv. for \u00e5 komme seg fra et sted til et annet.<\/li>\n
  8. Mennesker:<\/strong>\u00a0Selv om Gr\u00f8nland er verdens st\u00f8rste \u00f8y, bor det ikke mange mennesker der. Faktisk bor det bare rundt 57 000 mennesker p\u00e5 \u00f8ya. Av disse bor i underkant av 18 000 i Nuuk (Godrh\u00e5b). Til sammenligning bor det over 60 000 mennesker i K\u00f8ge kommune p\u00e5 Sj\u00e6lland.<\/li>\n
  9. Befolkning:<\/strong>\u00a0Gr\u00f8nlendere ser noe annerledes ut enn oss dansker, s\u00e5 hvor kom den opprinnelige befolkningen fra? Forskning har vist at de opprinnelige gr\u00f8nlenderne antas \u00e5 ha kommet fra \u00d8st-Sibir via Canada og havnet p\u00e5 Gr\u00f8nland.<\/li>\n
  10. Sol:<\/strong>\u00a0P\u00e5 grunn av Gr\u00f8nlands beliggenhet s\u00e5 langt nord g\u00e5r solen aldri ned over horisonten fra 25. mai til 25. juli. Omtrent midt i denne perioden, den 21. juni, finner vi ogs\u00e5 Gr\u00f8nlands nasjonaldag.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
