Greenland Puzzles
Greenland is the largest island in the world, a vast land of ice, mountains and fjords between the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic. Our Greenland puzzles show icebergs drifting in its fjords and the brightly coloured houses of its small coastal towns.

About Greenland
About four fifths of the island lies under an ice sheet up to three kilometres thick, so its roughly 56,000 people live along the coasts, many of them on the milder west coast and in the capital, Nuuk. Greenland is a self-governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and most Greenlanders are Inuit, who call their country Kalaallit Nunaat, the land of the Greenlanders. No roads link the towns: people travel by plane, by boat and, in winter, by dog sled.
Many of the icebergs of the North Atlantic come from Greenland's fast-moving glaciers, such as Sermeq Kujalleq at Ilulissat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site; the iceberg that sank the Titanic in 1912 probably began its journey there. In the east, the Sermilik Fjord near Tasiilaq is often crowded with ice, and the north-east of the island is the largest national park in the world.
