Denmark has the largest island in the world, covering an area of over 2,654,380+million square kilometers. Why is the land vast and sparsely populated, with only 50,000 people?

Because most of them are uninhabitable, and many of them are covered with ice. Greenland, Denmark's largest island, is mostly in the Arctic Circle, so the temperature is so low that many people can hardly stand it. This is also the reason why many people don't live. Only those who can withstand extreme cold can live. Then I'll tell you in detail.

About 80% of Greenland's land is ice, covering an area of more than 265,438+10,000 square kilometers. It is a big country in Europe after Russia, but its economy is still relatively backward, because the population here is really small and the temperature is very low, which completely affects the economic development, and it is only about zero in summer.

Besides, in Greenland now, because of the global warming effect, glaciers have begun to melt, so there are fewer and fewer places to live, and many people leave because they can't stand the cold. The economy is always unable to develop and the growth is very slow. If the greenhouse effect is not controlled, glaciers will melt and sea levels will rise, and the consequences will be really unimaginable.

But it's not bad in Greenland, after all, it has always been remembered by the United States. You can see the aurora in Greenland. In the evening, many tourists come here just to have a look. The aurora there is like fireworks, which really makes people feel happy.

Well, finally, I want to sum up why Greenland is vast and sparsely populated. One is that there are few places to live here, and the other is that the temperature here is too low for many people to live.
