7. Greenland
The very name Greenland is a ironic, as vegetation is as rare as people on the large island (the world’s second largest island in fact, Australia being the largest), the northernmost point is just 460 miles from the North Pole. The 57,000 people who inhabit the island must be a very hardy folk indeed, sharing an island with polar bears and biting chill can’t be easy after all. Nor can extremes of day and night, many places experiencing three months of unending day in the summer and three months of no daylight in winter.
