On the bay or the sea, Tico? (I thought Greenland was a continent)

I did a little homework prior to answering the query about Europe:

Greenland used to be part of the European community, but withdrew in 1985. It was granted self-government by the Danish parliment in 1979. SOURCE. It is certainly not geographically located near the rest of Europe. How is it part of Europe?

I thought I answered correctly.

Show of hands .... who thinks Greenland is in Europe?

Continent of Europe is different to the European community, Tico.

All very confusing, really. Greenland is inhabited by bloody great ex vikings, who drink blood and sing songs about longboats.

As I said. I thought it was a continent. I don't really know if it is part of Europe.

It's part of North America in THIS MAP!

According to THIS SITE it is geographically part of North America.

You know what it is? I screw up one time and think Ireland is part of the UK, and Walter thinks he can push me around now. Laughing

It's on the West Coast. (One of the first European settlements on the west coast, I believe.)

"Greenlanders enjoy a unique position among the world's indigenous peoples in that Greenland is recognized as an autonomous nation residing within the Danish Kingdom."


"With constitutional change in 1953, Greenland became a part of Denmark. Colonialism was annulled and as in the Faeroe Islands, Greenland was granted two seats in the Danish Parliament. As Danish citizens, Civil rights accorded to the Danes were granted to the Greenlandic population. Health conditions and educational possibilities were radically improved"

No, but:

The Nordic region has a population of 24.7 million. The Nordic countries consist of Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Finland, Åland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The Faroe Islands and Greenland are both part of the kingdom of Denmark, and Åland is part of the republic of Finland.

Well, when India was part of the British Empire, it was not part of the European continent.

Or am I about to get a history lesson? Laughing

"Greenland is not official a continent, it is the
world's largest island, geographically it belongs to the North American
continent, politically it belongs to Europe (Denmark)."

According to that, we're both right.

The boating village we're looking for is very small, so I think I should go ahead and give it to Letty.


Unless we want to explore tiny villages on Greenland's west coast.
