Large areas in Greenland is actually green though. Its a wilderness paradise.

I’m sure the low shrubs and lichen will provide excellent coverage for the proposed resistance that hide in the wilderness…

I hadn’t realized Greenlanders are 6 inch tall so I’d discounted that possibility due to the essentially zero forest coverage.

Depends what you mean by large areas. Most of it is an kce sheet, the interior is uninhabitable and the habitable sections are hundreds of miles apart.
Depends what I mean with large areas? Ever been to Greenland?

Greenland is about 25% of the US excluding Alaska, the ice sheet covers 80% of that.

This means that the ice free area of Greenland is a bit larger than California. Thats the third largest state in the US. I would say that is a large area.
