Detailed answer to the quiz question

The capital of Greenland is Nuuk. It is the largest city in the autonomous region, which officially belongs to Denmark but enjoys extensive self-government. Nuuk is located on the southwest coast of Greenland and has around 19,000 inhabitants – a small town by European standards, but the undisputed political, economic and cultural center of Greenland.

Nuuk was founded in 1728 by the Danish missionary Hans Egede, who established a settlement here to proselytize the Inuit. In the Greenlandic language, the name Nuuk means Kalaallisut – “cape” or “headland”, which was a reference to the geographical location of the town.

Today, Nuuk is not only the seat of government, but also the cultural heart of Greenland, with museums, universities and modern infrastructure. Despite its isolated location, the city is connected to the rest of the world via the harbor and the airport.
