The largest island in the world is Greenland (Danish: Grønland; Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaat). With an area of approximately 2.16 million square kilometers, it is located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, northeast of Canada. Despite its massive size, about 80% of Greenland is covered by an ice sheet, making it the least densely1 populated territory globally. Politically, it is an autonomous2 territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. Greenland's unique geography includes fjords, glaciers3, and Arctic wildlife like polar bears and seals.
