  • Greenland is a cold place, somewhat resembling Antarctica. It is winter all-year round, and its lowest recorded temperature is -66°C.
  • It is difficult to build an igloo or a house there unless you are highly-skilled in architecture.
  • Greenland is huge, and the centre parts of the island are hard to access due to excessive snow and ice. Therefore, the people living there mostly live near the coast.

It is very hard to live there, because there isn't a whole lot of food, and its FREEZING. Its climate type is tundra and ice cap, which means that its cold and not alot of vegetation.

What does 'sparsely populated' mean?

Sparsely populated simply means that there aren't very many people living there. Usually this is because the climate (desert, polar region) or the terrain (mountaintop, swamp) makes it difficult to support a large population.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sparsely populated means very few human inhabitants when compared to the land area in which they are living.New York would therefore be densely populated as compared to Greenland which is sparsely populated.
