GREENLAND ~ Disko Bay ~

... Beautiful view of a world of natural wonders... ice, dogsleds and stunning scenery... Disco Bay attracts the largest number of tourists to Greenland...  despite having a land size of over 2 million square kilometers there are no roads or railway system... all travel between towns is done by plane, boat, helicopter, snowmobile or dogsled... with great matching dogsled stamp and lovely fish postmark from Tasiilaq... Big Thanks Rosmarie!!【ツ】

Disko Bay is a region on the western coast of Greenland. The bay constitutes a wide southeastern inlet of Baffin Bay and is is the largest open bay in western Greenland.

Greenland is the largest dependent territory by area in the world bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the Greenland Sea, the Arctic Ocean and Baffin Bay. Nuuk is the capital and largest city.

The biggest part is covered by the great inland ice. Only about 16% of the island are free of ice. Greenland is covered by the only permanent ice sheet outside Antarctica.

The native land mammals in Greenland include the polar bear, arctic fox, reindeer, arctic hare, musk ox, lemming, ermine, and arctic wolf.
