Greenland

Greenland's topography is dominated by its vast ice sheet, which covers approximately 80% of the island and has an average elevation of about 7,000 feet (2,135 meters). This ice sheet is the second largest in the world, following Antarctica, and plays a critical role in regulating the global climate by reflecting sunlight back into space​. The remaining 20% of the island features rugged mountainous terrain, steep cliffs, and deep fjords, particularly along the eastern coast, where the tallest peak, Gunnbjørn Fjeld, reaches 12,139 feet (3,694 meters)​. The coastline is characterized by a narrow strip of rocky land, while the interior features flat to gently sloping areas leading to the ice cap​. Glacial valleys and coastal plains support diverse ecosystems and habitats, making Greenland's terrain both ecologically significant and culturally important to its indigenous peoples.
