“What we understand of Greenland has long been distorted and coveted by powers from afar,” writes Brett Popplewell. Its name was invented to lure settlers. Its size on our maps is a cartographic illusion. And now a foreign power wants to claim it—again. ow.ly/Z6cO50YK77V

Mere hours after arriving in Greenland, writer Brett Popplewell met Jan Køhler, a Danish-born resident of Nuuk. Locals like him were tired of journalists asking about invasion threats, but Køhler was clear: to many, Greenland was worth dying for. ow.ly/7Xkv50YKLbC

Earlier this winter, I spent time reporting from Greenland. The threat of an American invasion had transformed the quiet Arctic city of Nuuk into an unlikely stage for a global showdown—a rallying point for NATO troops and international diplomats all trying to preserve the rules-bound world order.
