The Greenland ice sheet covers about 80 percent of Greenland! It's the second-biggest ice sheet in the world, after Antarctica
What else can I help you with?
Is Greenland always covered by ice?
No, Greenland is not always covered by ice. It experiences seasonal variation in ice coverage, with the majority of the island covered by ice year-round, but in the summer months, some of the ice does melt.
Why is most of Greenland covered with snow throughout the year?
Greenland is not near the Equator. The warmest countries are on or near the Equator. Because of the location, Greenland is very cold up far in the North. Everything far South or North of the Equator is usually cold. Ex. Antartica. In my opinion, Greenland should be called Iceland and Iceland should be Greenland considering Iceland is warm and Greenland is cold:)
Is Greenland Iceland?
No. There is one little confusing thing though. Iceland is green and warm, while Greenland is covered in snow and ice.
Why is Greenland called Greenland if its not green?
See etymology at the Wikipedia link below.
Is Greenland a mountain?
Yes, Greenland is frozen so it has many glacier's (This is a response from the jdDictionary)
What part of Greenland is covered in snow?
The amount of snow Greenland gets every year varies dramatically depending on where on the island you're talking about. High on the ice sheet receives almost none because it is so cold and dry. The southeastern part of Greenland receives several meters of snow every year due to its location in the North Atlantic storm track. Furthermore, there are not a lot of stations measuring snow in Greenland, so the snowfall data for 2009 would be quite sparse anyway.
What can you do in Greenland?
nothing, its just a island 15 times bigger than the uk that is covered with snow so you can just have snowball fights
What is greenland covered by?
About 80% of Greenland's land surface is covered by ice.
What is greenhouse used for?
Refrigiration. Like Greenland, greenhouses are not actually green but rather covered in snow whereas Iceland is ironically totally green.
How many months of the year is the Arctic covered in snow?
Some parts are covered for 3 or 4 months while others are covered for most of the year. If the highest latitudes were land rather than ocean, these would be covered all year. However, if the snow never melted, glaciers/ice sheets would form as you see in Greenland and higher elevations in the Arctic. However, in many places where snow melts, the ground is still frozen throughout the year - this is called permafrost.
Which countries are covered in ice all year?
Greenland is mostly covered by an ice sheet.
Does Greenland get snow?
Yes It does
