For the first time an election in Greenland will be closely watched

GREENLAND - Greenlanders now find their voices greatly amplified on the world stage after President Donald Trump's claim that the US might take over their island.

(Euronews)

Greenland is the world's largest island - it's larger even than France, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, Italy, Greece, Switzerland, and Belgium combined.

But despite its size, Greenland remains a self-governing territory of Denmark and its foreign, defence and monetary policies are all decided in Copenhagen. Since 80 percent of it is permanently covered in ice, much of it remains inhabitable. It has a tiny population of just 56,000 people, most of them indigenous Inuits. They've long taken pride in a culture and traditions that's helped them survive for centuries in some of the most rugged conditions. They have a close link to nature and belong to one of the most beautiful, remote, untouched places on Earth.
