the West Greenland is a region of Greenland.

Understand

Including the capital Nuuk, West Greenland is the part of Greenland you would probably think of if you've only seen stereotypical images of the country. You can see large icebergs floating in the ocean, wander around with the help of dog sleds. In villages, fish are often hung outside small, colorful houses.
