		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 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.

		Norway got 'round to annexing the country in 1261, but it was a futile attempt at control; 130 years later a big chill set in and by the time the country thawed out and the outside world made contact again, the colonists had gone, either fully acculturated into, or killed by, the Thule.
		Norway had lost its claim on Greenland in 1605, when Denmark sent an expedition to claim the country in the king's name and then sent over the zealous missionary, Hans Egede, as their seat warmer.

		This is asked, because the Greenlandic authorties in mid-november wrote, that the danish Department of Foreign Affairs during a meeting with the head of the greenlandic authorities, Jonathan Motzfeldt, had claimed that, that it might be expected that the US would shut down the base.
