Greenland. Though physiographically a part of the continent of North America, Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with Europe (specifically Norway and Denmark, the colonial powers, as well as the nearby island of Iceland) for more than a millennium. In the early 18th century, Scandinavian explorers reached Greenland again. Vikings set sail from Greenland and Iceland, encountering North America nearly 500 years before Columbus reached the Caribbean islands. Norway became the weaker part and lost sovereignty over Greenland in 1814 when the union was dissolved. In 1979, Denmark had granted home rule to Greenland, and in 2008, Greenlanders voted in favour of the Self-Government Act, which transferred more power from the Danish royal government to the local Greenlandic government.
