Gonorrhoea situation in South Greenland in the summer of 1964.

Abstract

Greenland is the largest island in the world, situated north-east of the North American continent (Fig. Its length from north to south is 2,700 km. and its width from east to west 1,050 km., the total area being 2,175,600 sq. km. Of this total area 84 per cent. is covered with an ice cap, called the inland ice, the ice-free areas along the coast making up only about 341,700 sq. km. The country is typically mountainous, with very few flat stretches. The coast is bordered by skerries and indented by many deep fiords which often stretch right to the inland ice.
