Oh, Greenland is a mind-blowing place. It's a huge landmass. It's nearly one-fourth of the territory of the United States. 80% of the island is covered by ice.

The value of Greenland is twofold. It is especially valuable because of its strategic location. So it's placed right in the Arctic, which in recent years has taken on a sort of increased geopolitical importance as tensions have heated up between the US and Russia, the West and Russia.
