That depends on what you call 'close'. Greenland occupies the range of longitude
between 12.14° and 73.02° west. So the only sure thing is that there are parts of
Greenland that are 60 degrees closer to the Prime Meridian than other parts of it are.
The Prime Meridian and the 45th Meridian West pass through Greenland.
The Prime Meridian is defined as Zero Longitude. Any longitude that you feel is "close" to zero is close to the Prime Meridian.
Hatteras Island is at about 75.5 degrees west longitude. If you want to visit the Prime Meridian from North Carolina, the closest point is in the open sea about midway between Norway and Greenland, where the Prime Meridian is only 3,592 miles from Cape Hatteras.
The prime meridian is the zero degree vertical longitude line on the globe of the Earth. An example sentence would be: She used to live close to the prime meridian.
This is called the Prime meridian, it passes through Greenwich, England.

The Prime Meridian is defined as Zero Longitude. Any longitude that you feel is "close" to zero is close to the Prime Meridian.

Closer than what ? ? ? Points in Alaska are as close as 1,300 miles from a point on the Prime Meridian ... less than any point in the other 49 states.
prime the prime meridian
The line of longitude for a place that is halfway between the prime meridian and the 80th line of longitude and west of the prime meridian would be -40 degrees longitude. The prime meridian is at 0 degrees, and halfway between 0 and 80 is 40 degrees. Since the location is west of the prime meridian, the longitude would be measured as negative.
