北岛的南端(Southern tip of a northern isle)

格陵兰岛的绝对面积很难预测。这个世界上最大的岛屿面积超过83.6万平方英里，是德克萨斯州的三倍多，比阿拉斯加大17万多平方英里。这是一片有着深邃峡湾和冰层的土地，这一定让一千年前登陆那里的挪威探险家们感到宾至如归。

The sheer size of Greenland is hard to put in perspective. The world’s largest island is more than 836,000 square miles – that’s more than three times the size of Texas and more than 170,000 square miles larger than Alaska. It is a land of deep fjords and ice that must have made the Norse explorers who landed there a thousand years ago feel right at home.
