North America is the third largest continent in the world by land area, after Africa and Asia.     Greenland is the largest island in the world, which lies in North America. However, there are few people living there, making it the least densely (密集地) populated area with about 70,000 people. Greenland covers a total area of about 2,160,000 square kilometers.     Nicaragua is another country in North America, covering 121,428 square kilometers. Located in Central America between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, the country has about 6,000,000 people. Honduras follows with a total area of about 112, 500 square kilometers. The country had a population of 9,113,000 in 2016.     Most of the total surface of North America is occupied by two countries: Canada and the United States. Although Canada is the largest country, the United States has the largest population. Despite Greenland having a large surface area, its population is among the least in the continent. This is because about 80% of the area is covered by ice. In fact, a third of the people in Greenland live in the capital city Nuuk while the others live along fjords(峡湾). 1.
