This image shows us Greenland, the world's largest non-continental island[57] and the third largest country in North America. It lies between latitudes 59° and 83°N, and longitudes 11° and 74°W. Greenland has an Arctic climate with average temperatures that do not exceed 10° C in the warmest summer months. In the southern part of the country and the innermost parts of the long fjords, the temperature can, however, rise to more than 20° C in June, July or August. The sea around Greenland affects the climate on land. The stretches of coastline close to the open sea, in particular, are cooled by the sea.
