| Abstract | Greenland, Earth Greenland is 2700 _ 1200 kilometers across and is the largest island in the world with an area of over 2 million square kilometers. Approximately 85% of Greenland is buried beneath a thick ice cap. This view, looking northwest, features the coastline at the southern tip of Greenland. Glaciers and ice streams flowing out from the ice cap have carved many valleys along the coast of Greenland. Greenland glaciers are the source for thousands of Atlantic icebergs, one of which was struck by the Titanic in 1912. |
