The video explores Greenland, the world's largest island not a continent, governed by Denmark. It covers its geography, climate, and history, including Eric the Red's naming. The Arctic Circle passes through Greenland, making it a Tundra region with a cold climate. Vegetation is sparse, with some plants and animals like polar bears and reindeer.
