	Greenland - MSN Encarta
		Greenland (Greenlandic Kalaallit Nunaat; Danish Grønland), island which is an internally self-governing part of Denmark, situated between the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans.
		Greenland lies mostly north of the Arctic Circle and is separated from the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, on the west, primarily by Davis Strait and Baffin Bay, and from Iceland, on the east, by the Denmark Strait.
		Greenland was formerly the world's main source of natural cryolite, a mineral used in the manufacture of aluminum, but by the late 1980s, reserves were exhausted.

		Greenland was formerly the world's main source of natural cryolite, a mineral used in the manufacture of aluminium but, by the late 1970s, reserves were exhausted.
		Greenland is the source of many of the weather changes in the northern hemisphere, and knowledge of Greenland weather is of prime importance for the prediction of conditions in the North Atlantic Ocean and in western Europe.
		In the 19th century Greenland was explored and mapped by numerous explorers and navigators, including the first crossing of the interior from coast to coast by Fridtjof Nansen in 1882.

		It is surrounded by the Arctic Ocean in the north; the Greenland Sea in the east; the Denmark Strait in the southeast, which separates it from Iceland; the Atlantic Ocean in the south; and Davis Strait and Baffin Bay in the west, which separate it from Baffin Island, Canada.
		It was in sailing to Greenland (c.1000) that Leif Ericsson, the son of Eric the Red, probably reached North America.
		Greenland became a bishopric c.1110, and ruins of churches of that period remain.

	Greenland Enters the Modern Age
		Greenland was in a precarious position, cutoff from its mother country and sole trading partner by an Allied blockade and an Axis occupation.
		The United States Coast Guard’s Greenland Patrol was formed under the command of Edward H. "Iceberg" Smith in June, 1941 to defend Greenland, to support the Army in establishing bases for use in ferrying aircraft to the British Isles and to prevent the Germans from conducting operations in northeast Greenland.
		Greenland was made an integral part of the Kingdom of Denmark and allocated two elected representatives in the lower house of the Danish parliament in 1953.

		Field ice is formed in the Arctic ocean north of Greenland and is carried along the coast of eastern Greenland by the current, rounding Cape Farewell and travelling north up the west coast.
		Greenland is home to the oldest rocks ever dated (3,700 million years).
		Many would think that Greenland is a cold and dark climate but, although polar darkness reigns for a period when the sun does not rise for three months, it is never totally dark.

	IPY: International Polar Year
		Greenland has a major influence on the atmospheric circulation of the North Atlantic-Western Europe region; dictating the location and strength of mesoscale weather systems around the coastal seas of Greenland and directly influencing synoptic-scale weather systems both locally and downstream over Europe.
		It will also investigate Greenland’s role in atmospheric flow predictability by carrying out upstream observations that are “targeted” at investigating the sensitivity of the downstream flow to the details of the upstream flow and at improving subsequent forecasts over Europe.
		Aircraft-based meteorological observations off Cape Farewell, Greenland (between 45W to 30 W, 62N to 56S), along SE Greenland coast (between 73N, 15W and 60N, 40W), and east of Greenland (area bounded by 40W to 10W, 70N to 60N).

	The East Greenland Current
		The East Greenland Current (EGC) flows southward along the eastern coast of Greenland from Fram Strait (79°N) to Cape Farewell (60°N) via the Greenland Sea, the Norwegian Sea, and the Denmark Strait (Woodgate et al.
		Its low-density water and the conservation of potential vorticity cause the EGC to remain geostrophically constrained to the Greenland Continental Margin (Hopkins 1991).
		Aagaard and Coachman (1968a) defined the EGC as the flow in the Greenland Sea occurring west of the 0° surface isotherm.

	Sailing in Greenland
		Ammassalik, on the east coast of Greenland, 350 miles north of Cape Farewell, and our goal for the trip to Greenland, was still closed by pack ice when the three of us--Phyllis and I were joined by Ted, a friend who we met in Greenland in 2000 where he was hiking--were ready to leave Iceland.
		This window necessitated leaving Greenland in a full gale, but we were rewarded by fair winds most of the way, arriving on the Labrador coast in just over three days.
		This year our exploration of the east Greenland coast was aided by a significant increase in water temperature and accompanying decrease in glacier ice from what we experienced in 2000 and 1997.

		Greenland and its surrounding waters are home to more than eight species of whales, two million seals, Walruses, Polar Bears, Reindeer, Musk Oxen, Arctic Hares, Arctic Wolves and a spectacular variety of seabirds.
		Closer to Greenland we sail along the edge of the East Greenland sea-ice, which is drifting around Kap Farvel (Cape Farewell) and then north along the west coast of Greenland.
		Ammassalik is the capital of East Greenland and the centre of an area of small hunting and fishing settlements, a population of about 3,000 living by hunting Walrus, Narwhal and Polar Bear, and fishing for Arctic Char.

	Travel Tips - Travel Informations about Greenland
		Greenland is located in the arctic region and is thus characterized by extreme climatic conditions.
		Greenland is not the cheapest travel destination in the world but if you're prepared to stay at youth hostels or camping grounds and self-cater you could just about get away with surviving on US$40-50 a day.
		Greenland enjoys more hours of summer than anywhere down south, but the weather is nowhere near as warm, even though the light is much more intense.

		The corrie lip itself (c) has less suitable conditions on the roche moutonee rocks and slabs below the rock outlet cascade and amongst the poorly-drained soils alternating with climatically exposed ledges on the rocks at the edge of the moraine boulder fields at the lochshore.
		This can be interpreted as showing that the closer proximity of the larger glacier systems and the Inlandsis reduces the chance of these montane species occurring or surviving at a given height in the northern valley: their environment is less favourable.
		The mountains in the Lost Loch district exhibit the optimum conditions to be found in South Greenland, because closer to the coast in the Land of the Towers the overall vegetation cover and hence the number of species present was seen to be much less at an equivalent altitude.

		Cape Farewell, South Greenland — It is the fifth day of a voyage to southern Greenland, aboard Gary Comer’s 150-foot exploration vessel, TURMOIL.
		We are here in Greenland with three leading experts in global climate change research, Wally Broecker of Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Laboratory; Richard Alley, a glaciologist from Penn State who worked on the Greenland ice core; and George Denton, one of the country’s great field geologists from the University of Maine.
		Arriving on Greenland’s southwest coast, Erik sailed his longboat 50 miles up a long, deep fjord and established a farm near the head of the fjord at Brattahlid.

		There is also a difference between the East Coast of Greenland on one side and North Norway and Svalbard on the other.
		The ice-free waters in this part of the Arctic are due to the same system of ocean currents that give Western Europe its mild winters.
		Off the North Norwegian coast it cools and becomes saltier, as it reaches the Svalbard Archipelago it falls to the ocean floor, a sinking action that helps to drive the whole 'global heat conveyor'.

	Cruising Club of America
		During the month of July they sailed up the west coast of Greenland in increasingly icy conditions, while watching the ice maps for indications that Baffin Bay would be sufficiently clear of pack ice to make the crossing to Canada.
		As they were approaching Cape Chelyuskin, the northernmost point on the coast and the halfway location on the Northeast Passage, they received a radio message from Campina that she was disabled in the ice and needed to be towed about 30 miles to deeper water to reach a rescue vessel.
		With help from a large icebreaker nearby she was able to reach open water and proceed past Cape Chelyuskin and on to the west.

		We intend to settle down the new station at Cape Farewell, on the southern cost of Greenland.
		This location is of interest because ideally situated on the coast (of great oceanic influence) and also in the confluence between North American and European air masses, thus enabling studies of both influences, depending on the meteorological conditions.
		The installation of this new station in Greenland will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first atmospheric observatory from Mauna Loa which was settled down in 1957 during the IGY.

	Gale force winds over the Irminger Sea to the east of Cape Farewell, Greenland
		High wind events that occur over the Irminger Sea to the east of Cape Farewell Greenland are of interest as a result of the significant hazard they represent to maritime activity as well as their potential role in forcing deep ocean convection in the region.
		In addition to the previously identified ‘tip jet’ events that are characterized by strong westerly flow, we show that there also exist ‘reverse tip jet’ events that are characterized by strong easterly flow.
		Both types of events are associated with deep extra-tropical cyclones that are undergoing an interaction with the high topography of southern Greenland.
