French Guiana is still in South America, not Europe. If you're going to include overseas territories, Several North and South American countries border European countries. Like Guam and American Samoa. No, they aren't part of the physical continent, but the political continent, yes. No, it's not part of the EU:. Greenland retains some ties with the EU via Denmark. However, EU law largely does not apply to Greenland except in the area of trade.
As it's not physically part of Europe, and not politically part of Europe, in what way is it part of Europe? To clarify, It is an "autonomous constituent region within the Kingdom of Denmark". Even then, that's like saying French overseas territories, which are indeed part of France, are in Europe. You can be part of a country where the main landmass is in one continent without being in that continent itself. Also see Russia, which is in Europe and Asia, but no one would argue that St. Petersburg is in Asia, or that Yakutsk is in Europe.
That apparently wouldn't be true if Greenland lost all of it's ice.

A good part of that is only below sea level due to the weight of the ice sheet. I think you see the same thing happening below the antarctic ice sheet. If the ice sheet actually melts you would see a post glacial rebound of the landmass. Post-glacial rebound also called either isostatic rebound or crustal rebound is the rise of land masses that were depressed by the huge weight of ice sheets during the last glacial period, through a process known as isostatic depression. Post-glacial rebound and isostatic depression are different parts of a process known as either glacial isostasy, glacial isostatic adjustment, or glacioisostasy.
Why you’re more tired flying east than west
Glacioisostasy is the solid Earth deformation associated with changes in ice mass distribution. The most obvious and direct effects of post-glacial rebound are readily apparent in parts of Northern Eurasia, Northern America, Patagonia, and Antarctica. We're still having that in Britain.
The South coast is less landy and more seay than it was a thousand years ago, and Scotland is the opposite. I don't know that much about it, I think I'm remembering it from Time Team. Americans stole the name and gave it to some islands off the coast of California, definitely not in a channel. Iceland if on the route would be a a service station where they charge the earth for a decent sandwich. Iceland definitely isn't made of ice like Greenland or ice as its name suggests, but it was always a pet peeve of mine when people say Iceland is green.
Some of the beautiful landscape images of Iceland you see on reddit or on the rest of the internet are highly saturated and are a pretty inaccurate portrayal of the country I think. I lived there for a year in the late 90s in a city called Keflavik which is half an hour away from the capital Reykjavik.
The claim:
Keflavik in particular is made of volcanic rock and a lot of the green you'll see is just moss and muddy green grass. I lived in Reykjavik for a month too and seeing a single tree was actually a bit of an event. That isn't to say you won't see trees, but they're in more rural areas. You're going to see a lot more barren land than you're going to see trees. I do believe that they've started to plant more trees in more urban areas, but I haven't been in the country for almost 20 years and can't say too much about that. I know how you feel.

This is a quaint picture of yellow houses and blue water in Nyhavn, with no people! The houses aren't really so light, the water is more brown than blue and there are people fucking everywhere. I think this is a universal thing with tourist destinations. Being an insider or outsider makes your experience totally different.
Greenland is farther east, west, north, and south than Iceland [ x ] : MapPorn
Once I read ""woah a tree" I'd say to myself", the comment took on Grandpa Simpsons voice for the rest of the read. The names of places don't always make sense. Greenland extends farther north, south, east and west Thank you, it confuse the hell out of me. It is acurrate to say that Denmark is indeed farther north, south, east, and west than Iceland In any case, we are essentially the gateway to the northern region of the state. It's an optical illusion caused by the Mercator Projection. Iceland is actually larger than Canada. On a similar note, it's either MA or NY can't remember that is more north, east, west, and south than RI when you take into account islands and water boundaries.
For people being intentionally obtuse, yes. Nobody cares about a fake line in the ocean. Being to the left of it doesn't make you magically east of Maine in the classical sense.

Instead, the basic problem is that, traveling east, local bedtime comes earlier than at your origin 11 p. Circadian rhythms do adjust.
No way, traveling east I was fine. Went sight seeing and so forth, gave a speech a day later. However, when I went west to get home I needed three days to recoop. It kicked my tuchis. To be honest travelling in cramped conditions for 23 hours between Sydney and London is always going to make you feel pretty crappie. I have just returned to UK from New Zealand. This seems opposite to the conclusions in your article. Maybe it was all this excitement of finally traveling to Australia.
Maybe traveling west is more difficult for some people. For their research, published last November, Zylberberg and his colleagues built simulations of 70 British cities, including the sites of 5, industrial chimneys, as they would have been in Using mathematical models they claim to have been able to reconstruct the movement of air within the given topography and work out where the pollution would end up.
They concluded that areas of high pollution were indeed more likely to become deprived areas, and found that they were generally in the east.
It concluded that no British cities have wind patterns which ought to create a polluted west. Heblich, Trew and Zylberberg also looked for eastern poverty patterns before the industrialisation of the 19th century, and did not find them. They also discovered that the deprivation of an area faded when the pollution did. The poor districts are not very poor. The rich districts are not very rich, and once pollution disappears, then everything comes back to normal.
If pollution was severely concentrated to start with, however, segregation persisted even after it had gone, as the perception of schools, public amenities, infrastructure and reputation made the pattern hard to shift. Gentrification has begun to change this, but only in big, wealthy cities like Paris and London — and only recently. The eastward drift is not the only pattern of deprivation. Big cities that grow rapidly often develop rings of poverty around a more affluent core, as poor people arrive from rural areas looking for work and have to live in the cheapest place they can find, which tends to be far away.
At any rate, by the time these people arrive, it is the only place left to build new homes. Moscow and Paris, again, are good examples, as are most Chinese cities. Although, some of the new urban centres being built from scratch by the authorities may turn out differently.
