Part 5/8:
Greenland's geography challenges the common perception of a frozen wasteland. While most of the island is indeed covered by the second-largest ice sheet in the world, which plays a crucial role in global sea levels, about 20% of the island is ice-free. This area, located primarily along the fjord-rich southern and western coasts, has a more moderate Arctic climate that supports limited agriculture, notably sheep farming and small-scale vegetable production.
Underground, beneath the thick ice, discovery of complex topographical features, including what might be the world's largest canyon, reveals that Greenland’s geography is multi-layered and intriguing. This diverse landscape, however, is not conducive to widespread habitation due to its extremity.
