The largest island in the world and the card gives the latitude and
longitude (also helpfully marking the arctic circle) so perhaps one could plot a route to Greenland. There will be no trouble finding a post
office because that is what all the red dots are around the coast on the postcard. Nuuk on the south west coast is not only Greenland's capital but the home of the giant Santa Claus Post Box

Hi Joy, I need to read more on that Santa Claus post box. I know I've heard about it before but can't really completely wrap my mind around the complete story. Thanks for sharing this Greenland postcard and that huge red post box photo. Have a great trip to Ireland. I'm happy the UK (or not so UK) postcard made you laugh!
Love the link you provided for the 'postal centres'!
