Greenland, as it is well documented, is not a land of green. Aside from the deep south, well below the Arctic circle, Greenland is nothing more than a huge chunk of ice. It is gravity's effect on the ice, pushing it outward towards the coast in the form of glaciers, that gouges the underlying rocks into deep crevices, towering mountains and sediment-filled coastline that supports the minimal life, both human and animal, that exist. To survive is to adapt to the extremes. Nothing is easy and very little is comfortable. In the end one must become nature itself.
