          GREENLAND
==============================

Greenland is the world's
largest island, however, more
than 85% of the land is
covered in continuous
permafrost with an average
depth of 1500m. Settlement is
confined to the narrow
southwest coast which is
warmed by the southerly
currents of the Atlantic. The
economy depends heavily on
subsidies from Denmark and its
fishing industry which
accounts for 60% of exports.
