Get to know the Greenlandic flag with AZ Flag !

The flag of Greenland is the civil flag, the state flag and the commercial maritime flag of the autonomous state of Greenland, a territory of the American continent that is an administrative part of Europe due to its link with Denmark. The Greenlandic flag was adopted in 1985 and it measures the rectangular proportions of 2/3 as do most flags of the world.

In Greenland, it is generally flown next to the banner of Dannebrog, the flag of Denmark. This flag is called by Greenland's local authorities the "Erfalasorput" (Our flag in the literal sense in the Greenlandic language) or the "Aappalaartoq" (the red).

The two colours red and white evoke in large part the country's geographical location and climate, which drastically define the way of life of the inhabitants of Greenland. It is in fact the second largest ice sheet on the planet earth (ice mass) after that of Antarctica, a territory frozen with glaciers and icebergs with an extremely cold inhospitable climate!  Thus the white part at the top of the flag refers to the island's glaciers which cover most of the territory, the red part at the bottom of the flag refers to the sea.

In the central circle, the red semi-circle at the top represents the sun, the white semi-circle represents icebergs off the coast of Greenland. The general graphic composition of the Greenland flag can also be reminiscent of the drawing of a setting sun reflected in the ocean.
