Story

Once upon a time in the vast icy lands of Greenland, a flag was born that told the story of its people. The flag's bright red and white colors represent the deep connection to Denmark, while the circle symbolizes the warm sun shining over the icy landscapes. This flag, adopted in 1985, is not just a piece of cloth; it reflects the spirit of freedom and the beauty of the Arctic. As the sun sets over the fjords, the colors of the flag remind everyone of the unique nature and culture of Greenland.
