Within a few centuries, almost all of the island’s trees were slashed and burned to make room for farming. This rapid deforestation has resulted in massive soil erosion that puts the island at risk for desertification.
Today, the Icelandic Forest Service has taken on the mammoth task of bringing back the woodlands. With the help of forestry societies and forest farmers, Iceland’s trees are slowly beginning to make a comeback. Watch this short film by Euforgen to learn more about how their efforts are working to benefit Iceland's economy and ecology through forestry.

What is it like Living in Greenland?
Greenland is likely to evoke mental pictures of polar bears, icebergs, the northern lights, and Inuit culture and lifestyle. We think you'll appreciate this northern gem as much as we do. People's perceptions of Greenland are often incorrect, and we hope this video may dispel some of those myths. How about we get going?
Everyday Food.
Greenlanders often eat a lot of canned goods, as well as canned fish, potatoes, and vegetables. Many Inuit tribes also rely heavily on seal and polar bear meat. Incredible dining options can be found all around the western coast of Greenland. While that may be true, it is not well known. Greenlandic delicacies are often reserved for the most discerning of diners (unless you happen to be Inuit), leading many to get a false idea of the cuisine outside of Greenland.
An Infinite Supply of Sunlight
Learn what it's like to have sunshine on your face for all 24 hours of the day. Just picture yourself seeing the sun set (it does not truly set) and then rising again an hour later. Greenland's summers are nonstop celebrations.
What it's like to live in Greenland and learn about its culture and music
The Greenlandic people have always placed a high value on the arts, both historically and now. With such a small population, Greenland is home to a surprisingly robust music culture, with several performers garnering worldwide acclaim.
Greenlandic literature began with the oral transmission of Greenland's rich oral tradition of myths and stories. Many of these have been memorialized in print and are readily available at this time.
While Greenlanders have a long history of performing for one another, it wasn't until 1984 that a professional theater company was founded, and it wasn't until 2011 that the country's first theater school opened.
Greenland is home to a rich history of craftsmanship. Greenlanders traditionally wear colorful woolen knitwear (anoraks) and handcrafted boots (kamiks). Fur and sealskins have been vital to Greenlanders' survival in the north for centuries, but in recent years, Greenlandic design has exploded, reaching new levels of creativity by fusing worldwide and Greenlandic fashions with the inventive use of fur and skin goods.
Fundamental Economic Principles
Standard of living and unemployment in Greenland are on par with those in mainland Europe (officially about 10 percent in the mid-1990s, with the public sector accounting for almost two-thirds of all jobs). While its GDP is more than $1 billion each year, the Danish government provides almost half of its budgetary support. The Greenlandic economy experienced a downturn in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Recent years have had budget surpluses and low inflation, but there is rising concern that overfishing may soon cause severe fisheries depletion. Small, remote Inuit communities in northern and eastern Greenland rely heavily on subsistence hunting for food and clothing (mainly polar bear and seal furs). Some Inuit communities have also profited from the International Whaling Commission's (IWC) recent decision to offer Greenland special authority to participate in limited aboriginal subsistence whaling.
Literature, Music, Art, and All Other Humanities Topics
Help for the Creative Sector. Greenland's artistic and literary communities get some funding from the government since the Greenlandic and Danish governments recognize the value of the arts in attracting tourists. However, the Inuit communities' robust creative history is by far the most important factor in the ongoing survival of Greenlandic arts.
Literature.
Inuit mythologies and moral codes, as well as the connection between the Inuit and the animals (seal, bear, walrus, whale, fox, etc.) on which they depended for existence, have long been central to Greenland's rich oral storytelling heritage (stories and songs). The most accomplished exponents of this art form are still held in high regard in Greenlandic society. While the tradition of writing and reading is still developing in Greenland, it is becoming more and more widespread.

Summer In South Greenland
South Greenland lives up to its name as it is truly a green land. Agriculture thrives here with many farms and luxuriant vegetables, in contrast to a barren ice world that covers much of Greenland.
Video by: Aningaaq Rosing Carlsen - Visit Greenland
Village Culture in Greenland
This short film won Silver prize at Deauville Green Awards 2015.
A close-knit community of 85 people calls the settlement of Itilleq home. Here, people embrace their lives close to nature, a life that revolves around fishing and subsidies hunting. On the shores of Itilleq no one is a stranger, and there's an instant sense of community.

Real Talk:
Despite our attempt at keeping our Greenland Travel Documentary as authentic as possible, you are still watching a highlight reel. When editing, we naturally tend to choose the most exciting clips.
Hunting:
The people of Greenland hunt seals, whales, and dolphins. Other than fish, these marine mammals are an important food source. Every part of the animal is used. Still, among some, this type of hunting will spark outrage. However, understand that very little grows in Greenland, as the summer lasts only around 2 months. Most fruits and vegetables, as well as all other types of food, need to be imported, causing high transport costs and emissions and resulting in astronomical prices. No citizen of Europe or North America has any right to judge the lifestyle of these people who rely on locally available, sustainable food sources.
Do we prefer whales swimming wild and free in the ocean? 100%. However, in our daily lives, most of us have the luxury of buying everything we could think of in a nearby supermarket. Greenlanders do not have that option.
Greenlanders know where their food comes from. Most of us in the West do not. It is easy to judge people and their lifestyles even if we know little about them. And if after all of that, you still believe Greenlanders should stop hunting seals, you are placing ideology above reason.
Full Disclosure:
This trip was supported by Visit Greenland. The tourism board paid for our flights from Iceland to Kulusuk as well as our helicopter flight from Kulusuk to Tasiilaq. Moreover, they supported us by funding some of the activities. Additionally, we didn’t have to pay for the trips with Tasiilaq Tours and Nunatak Adventures. All accommodations and other activities were self-funded.

Unesco Heritage Sites In Greenland
This is why Greenland is UNESCO World Heritage!
Just look at the two places Greenland proudly calls UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In North Greenland, the Ilulissat Icefjord is a sea full of ice as far as the eye can detect and a ground zero for seeing a changing climate. In South Greenland, the Kujataa Norse and Inuit Farming region is a vast network of small-scale sheep farms, modern-day towns and settlements, and well-preserved structures from the 10th century.

Greenland, recognized as the largest non-continental island globally, surpassing the size of the U.S. state of Texas by threefold, challenges common perceptions as it is not entirely icy; approximately 20% of Greenland boasts relatively green landscapes. Despite this potential for habitable land, only a small population of around 56,000 people resides on this vast island, earning it the distinction of being the world's least densely populated region. The apparent paradox of its name, coupled with the low population density, prompts an exploration into the geographic factors that contribute to Greenland's unique characteristics. In our journey with Vacation Awaits, we aim to uncover the reasons behind the sparse population and the intriguing nomenclature of the world's largest island, revealing unexpected features that extend beyond a surface-level explanation.

Greenland and Iceland Compared
What are the differences between Iceland and Greenland? The difference between Greenland and Iceland transcends just the prefixes of their names. In order words, while both are lands, one is green and the other is ice. Nevertheless, there are several similarities between the two countries. Why not join us in the discussion of this Greenland and Iceland compared.
Despite the fact that they have certain common qualities, Greenland and Iceland are two very separate countries. Climates, cultures, languages, histories, and communities differ between the two countries. You need to pay attention to this piece about the fundamental differences between Iceland and Greenland to ensure that you know which country you actually want to visit.
Population
Greenland has a far fewer population. The population of Greenland is 56,421 with the majority of the population holding Danish citizenship since the country is recognized as an autonomous region of the Kingdom of Denmark. Meanwhile, the population of Iceland is 368,792.
Both countries have sparsely inhabited landscapes. In both Iceland and Greenland, the majority of the population is concentrated in big urban areas. By the way, Greenland is a massive Island.
In Iceland, the capital city of Reykjavik is home to an incredible 50% of the population while in Greenland, the largest city of Nuuk is home to only 30% of the population.
Size
Even though Iceland is more populous than Greenland, it is 21 times smaller than Iceland. While the total size of Iceland is 39,817 square miles, Greenland has a huge area of 836,330 square miles. Don’t bother to calculate the mammoth difference in population densities.
Tourism
Iceland is far less difficult to visit. It’s no surprise. Iceland receives more than 2 million visitors every year, but Greenland receives an average of only 60,000. Iceland has a greater number of hotels, restaurants, and infrastructure for tourists to enjoy as a result of its greater experience with international visitors.
For example, taking a self-drive tour around the entire country on the Icelandic Ring Road is a simple and convenient option. In Greenland, on the other hand, there are just about 93 miles of paved roads, making travel by automobile far more difficult.
In spite of all that, Greenland has a great deal to offer its tourists. Greenland is progressively gaining in popularity as a tourist destination, thanks to its rich and intriguing history as well as its breathtaking polar nature and wildlife.
Climate
Don’t be snowed by the name; Iceland actually has less ice than Greenland which is significantly cooler. On the other hand, Greenland is not as green as Iceland. An ice sheet that has been in place for thousands of years covers 11% of Iceland's geographical area. As incredible as this is, it pales into insignificance when compared to Greenland's incredible 80% ice sheet coverage, which is unfathomable.
