And this means that there's something hidden under all that ice! Specifically, Greenland could be sitting on top up trillions of dollars worth of minerals, oil, and other scarce resources. So exactly how much money is hidden under Greenland's ice? Watch to find out! In this video, we'll cover the extensive history of Greenland and how it came to be owned by Denmark, why the United States is so interested in taking control of Greenland, and what current estimates suggest about how much money is under all that ice. And just to give you a little hint: if Greenland's current known resources could be mined and sold, every Greenlander would become a multi-millionaire. That's A LOT of money! -- Stock footage and music acquired from www.envato.com, www.storyblocks.com and videvo.net. If you think there's been an error in using a video clip, please contact me.
