Greenland ( Greenlandic : Kalaallit Nunaat [kaˈlaːɬit ˈnunaːt] ; Danish : Grønland [ˈɡ̊ʁɶnˌlanˀ] ) is an autonomous country within the Danish Realm , located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago . Though physiographically a part of the continent of North America , Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with Europe (specifically Norway and Denmark, the colonial powers , as well as the nearby island of Iceland ) for more than a millennium . In 2008,
Greenland has been inhabited off and on for at least the last 4,500 years by Arctic peoples whose forebears migrated there from what is now Canada. Norsemen settled the uninhabited southern part of Greenland beginning in the 10th century, and Inuit peoples arrived in the 13th century. The Norse colonies disappeared in the late 15th century. In the early 18th century, Scandinavia and Greenland came back into contact with each other, and Denmark-Norway affirmed sovereignty over the island.
