Greenland is almost 21x the area of Iceland. Both islands are sparsely populated, but Iceland has about 300,000 people, while Greenland has only about 50,000 people. Greenland is 10-20 degrees F colder than Iceland. Greenland is mostly (80%) covered by the Greenland ice sheet which is 2-3 km thick on average. Iceland has glaciers, but nothing close to the Greenland ice sheet.
