• President Donald Trump referred to Greenland as a "piece of ice" during his speech at Davos 2026.
• Three Greenland residents told Business Insider that it is more than just a "piece of ice" to be commoditized.
• They spoke about Greenland's distinct culture, self-governance, and beautiful nature.

For over 56,000 people, Greenland is far more than a "piece of ice" — it's home.
