At 836,100 sq miles (2,166,600 sq km), Greenland

is the largest island in the world. However,

677,700 sq miles (1,756,000 sq km) of this is a

massive ice sheet so heavy that the central land

area has sunk to form to a basin more than

1000 ft (300 m) below sea level.

The Jakobshavn Glacier is among

the world ́s fastest glaciers, often

moving 100 feet (30 m) a day,

and calves around 20 billion tons

(tonnes) of icebergs every year.
