Greenland offers outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and coastal cruises. The Saqqaq culture disappeared around 800 BC, replaced by the Early Dorset in the west and Independence II in the north. Icelandic sagas about Greenland life were written centuries later and are not reliable historical sources for early Norse Greenland. Hans Egede left his son Paul in charge of the Greenland mission after 15 years and returned to Denmark, establishing a Greenland Seminary there. The lowest Northern Hemisphere temperature was recorded in Greenland at −69.6 °C (−93.3 °F) near the ice sheet summit on December 22, 1991. Gunnbjørn Fjeld at 3,700 m (12,100 ft) is Greenland's highest point in the Watkins Range.

Several countries observe public holidays on May 9th each year, also called Victory Over Fascism Day, Liberation Day, or Victory Day. Between 1975 and 1990, it was Tag des Sieges (Victory Day). Poland officially recognized May 9th from 1945 until 2014, and on April 24, 2015, Poland officially recognized National Victory Day on May 8th. Since the time difference would be May 9th in local time in the Soviet Union, most Soviet states including Russia celebrate Victory Day on May 9th. On May 8, 1945 - known as Victory in Europe Day or V-E Day - celebrations erupted around the world to mark the end of World War II in Europe. The war had been raging for almost five years when U.S. and Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. The invasion signaled the beginning of the end for Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. In less than a year, Germany would surrender and Hitler would be dead.
