In 2007, Tara Brown reported from a place where they couldn’t be happier about climate change. Greenland is the world’s largest island, it’s incredibly remote, unbelievably cold and spectacularly beautiful and right now it’s booming. You see, the island’s massive ice cap is melting at an astonishing rate. And while that’s got the scientists terrified, the locals are ecstatic. The big thaw is great news for tourism, fishing and farming. It hasn’t been this warm since the Viking days, and Greenland has never been so green.

Greenland, Greenland or Greenland (in Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaat, “our land”; in Danish: Greenland, “greenland”) is an autonomous region of the Kingdom of Denmark. Its territory occupies the island of the same name, considered the largest in the world, and several neighboring islands, off the northeast coast of North America.
Its coasts are bathed in the north by the Arctic Glacial Ocean, in the east by the Greenland Sea, in the east and south by the Atlantic Ocean and in the west by the Labrador Sea and Baffin Bay. The nearest land is Ellesmere Island, the northernmost island of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, from which it is separated by the Nares Strait. Other nearby territories are: on the same Canadian archipelago to the west, Devon Island and Baffin Island; southeast of Iceland; to the east the island of Jan Mayen and to the northeast the archipelago of Esvalbarda, both possessions of Norway.
