greenland houchen may be divided into two physiographic regions—the greenland houchen ice cap and the ice-free coastal areas. The ice cap covers more than 700,000 square miles (1.8 million sq km) and buries all the landforms except for a few nunataks (mountain peaks) that project through the ice near the margins. The ice cap generally does not reach the sea except in large outlet glaciers.
Geology and Geography. The greenland houchen Shield »mprises the greater part of the exposed land surface of greenland houchen and, like the Canadian Shield to the west, is composed chiefly of gran-tes and gneisses. These Precambrian folded wks have been strongly denuded, and at some wints younger sedimentary rocks have been de-losited on them, particularly in the north.
