We originally had a different topic planned for this week's #geoweirdness thread, but the global discussion has turned to Greenland 🇬🇱, so let's go with it.
Join us as we consider the geographic oddities of the world's northernmost territory.

2/ As we covered in our #geoweirdness thread about Denmark 🇩🇰, Greenland 🇬🇱 is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. It has a population of only 50,000 The local government is responsible for local matters, while Denmark is responsible for foreign policy and defence. The currency is the Danish Kroner.

@opencage@en.osm.town one that fascinates me: Greenland has no road network linking its settlements (the only one that I know of is a rough track that links Sisimiut with Kangerlussuaq) so all internal transport is by air, sea, snowmobile or dogsled.
