Moreover, geological isolation plays a crucial role. Situated between the Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans, Greenland’s remote positioning limits migration and trade. Historically, this stunted both its economic growth and population influx. Its economy is heavily reliant on fishing due to the harsh climate, making it difficult to establish agricultural diversity, thereby limiting food production and self-sustenance.
Infrastructure development remains a challenge due to the terrain and climate, which impacts living conditions and economic opportunities. The mountainous landscapes, rugged coasts, and widespread ice make connecting communities exceptionally costly and logistically complex.
