@ MiniyRITA:

Yes, some does looke quite like the mongolian ppl, but as time goes by(decades), ppl tend to look more and more western-like. I guess because of globalisation. Greenlanders, like the rest of the world, will take in western style and thoughts on whats 'in' and how to look. However this transformation is very slow and the greenlandic way of thinking/looking is not in any immidiate danger of extinction :)

Nice video depicting Greenland.

I'm from Greenland, so I would know ;)

However, I'd like to point out that this was Greenland ad it's coldest - in the wintertime. The land completely transforms in the (short) sommertime, thus the land will be totally free of snow/ice and it acually gets really (t-shirt-like) hot.

Check my vid for prove.

I had watched a program which about the royal danish family annual visit to Greenland. I remember that there are a group of people looks like Mongolian living there. Can anybody confirm it for me? I am curious, thanks!

Yes, every year the danish government give them some money to finance the public projects. It's too small and too remote to be a productive country, in my opinion.

But, it's a very sensitive territory, politically.
