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.
