Greenland
LocationLocation: Greenland is an island between the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic Ocean, northeast of Canada

Geographical FeaturesGeographical Features: The extreme north of Greenland is not covered by an ice cap (indicated as pale blue in the map to the right), because the air there is too dry to produce snow, which is essential in the production and maintenance of an ice cap.

If the Greenland ice cap were to completely melt away, Greenland would most likely be an archipelago instead of an island-continent like Australia.
