Addtional Tidbits:

Did you know that Greenland is the world's largest non-continental island? It is 3 times the size of Texas.

Greenland isn't actually green. Over eighty percent of the island (1.8 million square kilometers or 1.1 square miles) is covered with ice. Only Antarctica has more ice. During the Arctic summer, the sun never sets in Greenland. In Ilulissat, the sun never sets from 25th May to 25th July.

If you are interested in registering larger volumes of .gl domains, please do not hesitate to contact our sales team at: [email protected] and allow us to provide you with a quote.
