Greenland is one of the most remote and sparsely populated places on Earth, with just 57,000 people living across its vast, icy terrain. The harsh climate, extreme isolation, and lack of infrastructure make life on the island incredibly challenging. With no roads connecting its towns, traveling between Greenland’s settlements requires boats, planes, or even dogsleds.
Despite these difficulties, Greenlanders have adapted to life in the Arctic, relying on fishing, hunting, and traditional knowledge to survive. The island’s breathtaking landscapes, rich Inuit culture, and untouched wilderness make it a unique and fascinating place. But for most people, Greenland remains an inhospitable land, too remote and extreme to call home.
So, why does almost nobody live in Greenland? Watch the video to find out!
