Greenland is the world's largest non-continental island, in the far northeast of North America, largely within the Arctic. Today Greenlandic culture is a blending of traditional Inuit (Kalaallit) and Scandinavian culture. Inuit, or Kalaallit, culture has a strong artistic tradition, dating back thousands of years. The Kalaallit are known for an art form of figures called tupilak or a "spirit object." Greenland is the home of many Icebergs and glaciers (especially the Ilulissat Icefjord). And a variety of animal lif, such as whales, seals, walruses, musk oxen, reindeer/caribou and polar bears. Greenland also has a successful, albeit small, music culture.
