This child group collects Glaciers of North America members located in Greenland, an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark treated as part of the North American continent for this atlas's regional grouping. Greenland's ice sheet is the largest single mass of ice in the Northern Hemisphere, and its named outlet glaciers are among the most closely studied in the world for their role in global sea level rise, even though comparatively few individual features are named here relative to the sheet's overall extent.
