    \n
  1. Eiland:<\/strong>\u00a0Groenland is het grootste eiland ter wereld. De landoppervlakte is meer dan 2,6 vierkante kilometer. Velen zullen tegenwerpen dat Australi\u00eb het grootste eiland ter wereld is, maar velen beschouwen Australi\u00eb als een continent en zelden als een afzonderlijk eiland. De oppervlakte van Australi\u00eb is echter aanzienlijk groter, namelijk meer dan 7,6 vierkante kilometer.<\/li>\n
  2. Grootte:<\/strong>\u00a0We hebben het gehad over hoe groot het land is, maar wat betekent dat eigenlijk? De grootte van Groenland is eigenlijk gelijk aan het optellen van de oppervlakte van Frankrijk, Duitsland, Engeland, Spanje, Itali\u00eb, Oostenrijk, Zwitserland en Belgi\u00eb bij de oppervlakte van Groenland.<\/li>\n
  3. \n
    Woestijn:<\/strong>\u00a0Er valt zelfs zo weinig neerslag in Groenland dat sommige gebieden in het land woestijn worden genoemd. Dit geldt vooral voor de noordelijke delen van het land, waar het beter bekend staat als de Arctische woestijn.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. Naam:<\/strong>\u00a0Om eerlijk te zijn is Groenland eerder wit dan groen, dus hoe komt het aan die naam? Het was eigenlijk de Viking Erik de Rode die mensen probeerde te lokken door het een meer aansprekende naam te geven. Onderzoek heeft echter aangetoond dat het land miljoenen jaren geleden eigenlijk heel groen was.<\/li>\n
  5. Onafhankelijkheid:<\/strong>\u00a0De meeste mensen weten dat Groenland deel uitmaakt van het Koninkrijk Denemarken, en het dateert eigenlijk al van 1721, toen we daar kolonies hadden. In 1953 werd Groenland onderdeel van Denemarken, maar in 1979 kreeg het land zelfbestuur en sindsdien zijn hun onafhankelijke rechten alleen maar toegenomen.<\/li>\n
  6. Bezoek:<\/strong>\u00a0Groenland is een groot land dat veel ruimte inneemt op een wereldkaart, en het ligt ook vrij dicht bij zowel Canada als de Verenigde Staten. De enige manier om commercieel naar het land te vliegen is echter vanuit Denemarken of IJsland.<\/li>\n
  7. Wegen:<\/strong>\u00a0Er is een schrijnend gebrek aan wegen in Groenland. Velen zouden zelfs zeggen dat er helemaal geen wegen zijn in Groenland. Er zijn wat ge\u00efmproviseerde wegen in de steden zelf, maar tussen de verschillende steden zijn er geen. Je reist per boot, hondenslee, veerboot, helikopter, enz. om van de ene plaats naar de andere te komen.<\/li>\n
  8. Mensen:<\/strong>\u00a0Hoewel Groenland het grootste eiland ter wereld is, wonen er niet veel mensen. In feite wonen er maar zo'n 57.000 mensen. Daarvan wonen er iets minder dan 18.000 in Nuuk (Godrh\u00e5b). Ter vergelijking: in de gemeente K\u00f8ge op Seeland wonen meer dan 60.000 mensen.<\/li>\n
  9. Bevolking:<\/strong>\u00a0Groenlanders zien er iets anders uit dan wij Denen, dus waar komt de oorspronkelijke bevolking vandaan? Uit onderzoek is gebleken dat de oorspronkelijke Groenlanders vermoedelijk uit Oost-Siberi\u00eb via Canada in Groenland terecht zijn gekomen.<\/li>\n
  10. Zon:<\/strong>\u00a0Omdat Groenland zo noordelijk ligt, gaat de zon van 25 mei tot 25 juli nooit onder. Rond het midden van deze periode, op 21 juni, vinden we ook de nationale feestdag van Groenland.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
