26 thousand users of Facebook list their location as Greenland Recently, according to this map 25 680 users of Facebook list their location as Greenland. 26 000 is about half of the number of inhabitants of Greenland. If these data are reliable it says that there are 26 000 computers (or other devices with IP address) from which a Facebook account was created. At least I hope that the extreme that all the accounts were created from a few computers, does not hold. Is it possible for Greenland to have reliable Internet infrastructure? What types of networks are there (optic, cable, wireless, satellite)? What special problems have they to solve (cold, snowstorm, bad visibility) to have good connection? (maybe not suitable question for _skeptics_ now, please suggest moving to other SE site)

In 2009 Greenland had 52,000 internet users, which are over 90% of the population. Greenland is connected via fiber-optic to Canada and Iceland.

Now, is 45-50% reach in case Facebook accounts something impressive? It isn't. Facebook's global average reach of **active** users is 44.5%.

In Greenland there are no inland settlements, most of the population lives in the towns on the south-west coast.

That's another issue. I don't think this map is reliable, as it shows many countries with FB usage way over 100% (with cases as extreme as 619% in Central African Republic or 505% in Iraq).
