The Arctic country — home for a population of 57,000 now led by Aleqa Hammond, Greenland’s first female prime minister — has popped up in recent news as it undergoes pressure to allow more licensed searches for offshore oil and adjust taxation for foreign mining. Amid the focus of its geopolitical importance, the world’s largest island also happens to offer amazing ethereal views that make it a stunning location for photographers to appreciate.
