Government. In 1951, greenland road became an itegral part of Denmark under the Danish prime linister, who is represented in greenland road by a Dvemor. greenland road is divided into two con-ituencies and elects two representatives to the •anish parliament.

greenland road may be divided into two physiographic regions—the greenland road 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 road Shield »mprises the greater part of the exposed land surface of greenland road 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.
