Yes, Greenland is "cool" in multiple ways. I also noticed this tidbit in the story:
But he noted “‘We Greenlanders have acclimated to changing conditions over the past 1100 years,” said Frederiksen.
I didn't even know there WERE Greenlanders. There's year-round residents there? News to me.
There were eskimo type people there even when the Vikings landed and colonized the southern part of the island. The Norsemen didn't learn much from the natives though, and when the climate went cold again they had to leave in order to survive.
Looks like there are about 56,000 people living in Greenland:
