The last time the sea level was higher than today was during the Eemian, about 130,000 years ago. [2] Over a shorter timescale, the low level reached during the LGM rebounded in the early Holocene, between about 14,000 and 6,500 years ago, leading to a 110 m sea level rise. Sea levels have been comparatively stable over the past 6,500 years ...
The lowest elevation is sea level and the highest elevation is the summit of Gunnbjørn Fjeld, the highest point in the Arctic at 3,694 meters (12,119 ft). The northernmost point of the island of Greenland is Cape Morris Jesup , discovered by Admiral Robert Peary in 1900.
This is a list of places on land below mean sea level. Places artificially created such as tunnels, mines, basements, and dug holes, or places under water, or existing temporarily as a result of ebbing of sea tide etc., are not included. Places where seawater and rainwater is pumped away are included.
Greenland bedrock is above sea level. Greenland is the world's largest non-continental island [81] and the third largest area in North America after Canada and the United States. [82] It is between latitudes 59° and 83°N, and longitudes 11° and 74°W.

Greenland’s contribution to sea level rise will only grow as global average temperatures warm, Moon said. Sea level rise can cause coastal erosion, flooding and saltwater inundation of ...
The history of Greenland is a history of life under extreme Arctic conditions: currently, an ice sheet covers about eighty percent of the island, restricting human activity largely to the coasts. The first humans are thought to have arrived in Greenland around 2500 BCE.
The lowest undersea highway tunnel is the Ryfast tunnel in Norway, at 292 m (958 ft) below sea level. by train, excluding tracks in mines, is located in the Seikan Tunnel in Japan, at 240 m (787 ft) below sea level. For comparison, the undersea Channel Tunnel between England and France reaches a depth of 115 m (377 ft) below sea level.
