FAZ – Greenland in Focus: A Cool Destination in a Heating World

FAZ map shows Greenland's Ilulissat region and Disko Bay, spotlighting the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier amid growing global interest in Greenland as temperatures rise. Now seen as a cool destination in a warming world.

This image, produced by F.A.Z. (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) depicts a map of Greenland (Grönland), labeled as part of Denmark (Dänemark). The main map highlights the Arctic island with a bold marker for Nuuk, the capital, and a dashed line for the Arctic Circle (Polarkreis).

An orange box zooms into a smaller region on Greenland’s western coast. The inset map shows the Disko Bay (Diskobucht) area and specifically features Ilulissat, Ilimanaq, and the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier—one of the fastest-moving glaciers in the world. The Ilulissat Icefjord (Ilulissat-Eisfjord) is also noted, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its prolific iceberg production.

A black scale bar in the inset indicates a distance of 100 km, providing geographic context to the distances between towns and glacial features.

The main focus of the map are the rising global temperatures are driving interest in Greenland not only for tourism, but possibly also for strategic geopolitical reasons—an allusion to past U.S. interest in purchasing the island.
