📣 Traveler notes
Greenland is the world's largest non-continental island, located in the Arctic northeast of North America. Historically settled by Vikings in the 10th century, it is currently part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
- Respect the cultural terminology preferred by local inhabitants.
- Be aware that Greenlanders view themselves as a separate nation from Denmark.
- Avoid the term 'Eskimo,' which is considered a racist slur. Use 'Kalaalleq' (or Kalaallit) or 'Greenlander' when referring to native inhabitants. When discussing sovereignty, use 'Kingdom of Denmark' rather than 'Denmark.'
