    In order to compete with Singapore and Hong Kong to become the center of the world's business port and Las Vegas to become the leisure capital of the world, *The United Grand Duke's Royal Family is planning the construction of the world's largest artificial island project near Dubai, which it will name The Palm Dubai. Let me bring you the relevant information about this artificial island.

    The Palm Dubai project consists of a number of artificial islands, and the reclamation of Palm Jumerah has been completed. The Palm project, located 520 kilometres off the coast of Dubai, has led to a surge in property prices along Dubai's coast in recent years. The Palm Dubai project began in 2001 and will be completed in 10 to 15 years, during which the world's major construction companies have joined the construction activities.

    The Palm Dubai project will consist of more than 300 small islands that will house hotels and a variety of leisure and tourism facilities, and the scale of the project is the modern "Eighth Wonder of the World".

    More than 300 small islands have been built in the shape of a world map, and when completed, people will be able to see a map of the world outlined by these islands from the sky. By the 90s of the 20th century, all the beaches in Dubai were developed, and the development hit a bottleneck. To solve this problem, Dubai decided to build an artificial island, and the Palm Project, an unprecedented artificial island construction project, was born.

    One can reach The Palm by boat, car, or even by monorail. When the Palm project is completed, Dubai's coastline will increase by 720 kilometers. Perhaps, by that time, the map of Dubai on the world map will have to be changed.

    Some environmentalists have pointed out that the palm island will destroy the habitat of marine life in the bay. Coral reefs, oyster habitats, seaweeds and more that provide food for fish and turtles will be buried under the island, with Alishan Palm Island previously part of a marine wildlife sanctuary. At the same time, the Palm will block and alter the natural ocean currents, and Dubai's famous natural sandy beaches will be eroded.

    In addition, the Burj Al-Arab Hotel in Dubai, also known as the tower, is the only seven-star hotel in the world, which is also built on a similar artificial island.

    Artificial islands are man-made rather than naturally formed islands, which are generally built on the basis of small islands and reefs, and are a type of land reclamation.

    The largest island in the world is Greenland, with a maximum width of about 1,290 kilometers and a coastline of more than 10,000 kilometers. Inuit is the majority of the inhabitants, and the island is cold all year round, with a typical polar climate, with summer temperatures above freezing in the coastal areas and freezing all year round in the inland part, with more than 80% of the entire island covered by ice sheets, with a total area of 1,833,900 square kilometers.

    Greenland has a cold polar climate, strongly influenced by the cold currents of the Arctic Ocean and the polar easterly winds. The East Greenland Cold Current moves south along the east coast of Greenland, while the West Greenland Warm Current moves north along the west coast of Greenland, making the east and west coasts of Greenland cooler and wester warmer.

    Greenland experiences polar day and night phenomena that are characteristic of the polar regions. The closer you get to high latitudes, the longer the polar days and nights will be during the year. In winter, there are polar nights that last for several months, and the Northern Lights occasionally appear in the sky over Greenland, sometimes like colorful fireworks spraying the sky, sometimes dancing like fairies with colorful silk, bringing a touch of life to the night sky of Greenland.

    In the summer, the sun shines all day long, and Greenland becomes the island on which the sun never sets.

    First of all: don't think that Dubai is some of the world's archipelagos, those are archipelagos, not an island.

    Flevoland in the Netherlands is home to the largest artificial island in the world. East Flevoland (oost-flevoland) and South Flevoland (Zuidelijk Flevoland) are separated from the mainland by lakes: Lake Veluwemeer and Lake Gooimeer, respectively, making these two polders the largest artificial islands in the world.

    The largest island in the world – Greenland.

    Greenland is located in the northeast of North America, between the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, with an area of 10,000 square kilometers and a coastline of more than 35,000 kilometers, making it the largest island in the world.

    Greenland is geographically high latitude, with its northernmost point, Cape Maurice Jessep, located at 83°39 N, and the southernmost Point, Cape Favel, located at 59°46 N, with a length of about 2,600 kilometers from north to south, which is equivalent to the distance from the northern tip of the European continent to central Europe. The easternmost northeast corner is located at 11°39 W, while the western end of Cape Alexandria is at 73°08 W. As a political entity, Greenland has a total area of 2,415,100 square kilometres, of which more than 1.7 million square kilometres are covered by ice sheets, accounting for 10 per cent of the world's freshwater and 1.8 of the world's ice sheets.

    Greenland's ice-free area covers an area of 341,700 square kilometres, but much of the north and east coasts are almost inaccessible and frigid wastelands. The inhabited area is about 150,000 square kilometers, mainly in the southern part of the west coast. Since most of Greenland is located within the Arctic Circle, the climate is very cold and windy.

    Greenland's average annual temperature is below freezing, and summer temperatures rarely exceed 10, with an all-time low of minus 70 on the northern tip of the island.

    The island is a vast island with a wide range of climates from north to south, with significant differences in climate between regions, and in addition to the polar day and night phenomena that are unique to the polar regions of Greenland, which is located in the Arctic Circle. The closer you get to high latitudes, the longer the polar days and nights will be during the year. In winter, the Northern Lights come to life in the sky over Greenland during the polar nights that last for several months, and they come alive in the night sky like colorful fireworks and fairies dancing like silk.

    In the summer, the sun shines all day long, and Greenland becomes the island on which the sun never sets.
