Summary

Despite its name, Greenland isn't very green. Rather, it is covered almost entirely in rock, ice, and snow. And though it is the world's largest island, few people live there. Readers will find out what it is like to live in Greenland's remote communities. They will also get a look at the country's interesting history, see which kinds of plants and animals live there, and much more
