Although Greenlands human population has always been small, over-hunting has led to serious declines of some native species. 1997. The flagship species of the Kalaallit Nunaat High Arctic Tundra is the northern collared lemming. There is also scheduled boat traffic, but the long distances lead to long travel times and low frequency. The coastal bands south of this are in the Kalaallit Nunaat low arctic tundra ecoregion.

Interpretation of ice core and clam shell data suggests that between 800 and 1300 AD the regions around the fjords of southern Greenland experienced a relatively mild climate several degrees Celsius higher than usual in the North Atlantic[43] with trees and herbaceous plants growing and livestock being farmed. Notable rock provinces (metamorphic igneous rocks, ultramafics, and anorthosites) are found on the southwest coast at Qeqertarsuatsiaat. These Icelandic settlements vanished during the 14th and early 15thcenturies.

This new colony was centred at Godthb ("Good Hope") on the southwest coast. . [23], The early Norse settlers named the island as Greenland. The extreme north of Greenland, Peary Land, is not covered by an ice sheet, because the air there is too dry to produce snow, which is essential in the production and maintenance of an ice sheet. Once a large site for Cryolite, used in extracting aluminum and crucial for aircraft production in WWII, the deposit was completely depleted by 1987 and the town abandoned. Wielgolaski, ed. Three-quarters of Greenland is covered by the only permanent ice sheet outside of Antarctica. I fell in love with the rugged landscape of Greenland; Kalaallit Nunaat as it is called in Greenlandic.

[58] Following World War II, the United States developed a geopolitical interest in Greenland, and in 1946 the United States offered to buy the island from Denmark for $100,000,000. However, climate change and oil production are now major threats. The steppe that covers much of this ecoregion is dominated by grasses such as purple reedgrass, Lapland reedgrass, and Alaskan wheatgrass, and sedges such as weak Arctic sedge and bog sedge.ii Heaths are dominated by black crowberry toward the coast and birch and mountain avens inland. [24][25][26] The Saga of Erik the Red states: "In the summer, Erik left to settle in the country he had found, which he called Greenland, as he said people would be attracted there if it had a favorable name."[27].
