Is Greenland mostly covered by a continental ice sheet?
No it does not. Antarctica The term Continental Ice Sheet is given to a glacier that is over 20,000 mi2 (50,000km2 ). As the Greenland Ice Sheet is 660,235 mi2 (1,710,00km2), this puts it well into Continental Ice Sheet size bracket. So even though it is on an island, it's size gives it the right to be classed as a Continental Ice Sheet.
