    It's 65774 DKK. With 40k/mo salary average in Denmark (so like 25 after taxes),this is a few months worth of money. Ok, maybe salaries are lower because whole Greenland is in the middle of nowhere, but it's also not some war-torn African country - people don't live on five bucks a month

    Having visited Iceland, the cost of living is higher on islands with limited agriculture and high cost of imports.
