Located in Arctic Ocean Also known as Grønland Kalaallit Nunaat Population 60,324 (2000 Estimate) Total area 2,175,600 square kilometres Greenland, a selfgoverning dependency of Denmark, is the largest island in the world. Greenland consists of an interior icecovered plateau surrounded by a mountainous, generally icefree rim. The interior ice cap is thickest near the centre of the island, where the maximum depth is estimated to be about 3,353 metres (11,000 feet). Underneath the ice cover are the ancient rocks of the Greenland Shield, which is geologically related to the Canadian Shield. Drainage is afforded mainly by the so called ice fjords, in which glaciers from the ice caps pass through valleys to the sea, where they form thousands of icebergs each year
Antarctica Antarctica is Earth's southernmost continent, overlying the South Pole. It is situated in the southern hemisphere, almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. Antarctica area is 14,000,000 km² , icefree area is about 280,000 km² and icecovered is about 13,720,000 km² that means about 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice. Climate of Antarctica Antarctica is the coldest, driest and windiest continent, and has the highest average elevation of all the continents. The coldest natural temperature ever recorded on Earth was -89.2 °C at the Russian Vostok Station in Antarctica on 21 July 1983. Antarctica is also extremely dry, technically a desert, whit
