According to The Guardian, in Peary Land, which is the northernmost point in Greenland named after Robert Peary, an explorer which is widely credited for being the first man to reach the north pole, ice is not present due to the dryness of the air, making the area a polar desert.

This is definitely an issue, as three quarters of Greenland lie within the Arctic Circle, which means that summers are brief and cool, and winters, long and very cold.

For example, the town of Qaanaaq, also known as Thule, is one of the most northern human settlements in the world, and the average temperatures there in July are around 5 degrees Celsius, while in February they drop all the way to -25.

Nuuk, which is Greenland's capital, is located a little more to the south, which enables it to get slightly higher temperatures.

Greenland, which is an autonomous territory, part of the Kingdom of Denmark, holds the record for the lowest temperatures registered in the northern hemisphere. In December, 1991, near the summit of the Greenland ice sheet, the temperature recorded was -69.6 degrees Celsius.

However, in the present day, climate change causes the temperatures to rise in parts of the land to levels of over 20 degrees, worrying scientist and climate experts.
