There are a couple reports out there of a supposed eruption in Greenland in 2006, however no scientific forum or otherwise has ever confirmed this. There are theories that volcanoes may be melting glacial ice under the Greenland Ice Cap, but this also has not been verified. No satellite data has ever captured an eruption in Greenland. The Nussaw Basin in Greenland displays some volcanic features from the Paleocene time period, and clastic material is present in some sedement layers, however these are ancient, and no new volcanism has ever been confirmed on the Greenland continent.
Indonesia has the most number of volcanoes. It has 167 of the 850 active volcanoes known in the world. These include the famous volcanoes Krakatoa, Tambora, and Merapi. Japan and the United States follow in rank.
Sources report that Greenland does not make public statistics on registered partnerships as it does with marriage. Given the population of Greenland, the figure is likely to be in the single digits.
The Vikings called it Greenland so people would want to go there as they thought it was nice and lush. They also gave Iceland its name so no-one would want to visit and take the goods they had secretly found... =]

Indonesia has the most active volcanoes in the world, with over 130 active volcanoes. This is due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic plate boundaries create intense volcanic and seismic activity.
you can find olivine rocks in volcanoes in Greenland.
Iceland
Yes, Greenland has a few volcanoes, but they are not currently active. The last known eruption occurred around 700 years ago.
No. Iceland is part of Europe. it is one of the five Scandinavian countries. it is also one of the few countries in Europe where volcanoes and earthquakes can occur. And if you may be wondering, Greenland isn't part of North America either. Greenland is part of Denmark.
Greenland is not in a region. Greenland is in the territory of Denmark. There are many regions in Greenland.
Nuuk is the capital of Greenland
Greenland is on the Arctic Circle, Iceland is near it.
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.
There are many Volcanoes in the world but not a lot of them are active today. One active volcano is in Hawaii, and the other volcano is in Greenland. Happy i answered your question.:)
Iceland is the Nordic country that is an island. It is located in the North Atlantic Ocean and is known for its stunning natural landscapes, including geysers, hot springs, and volcanoes.
