Which of the following island is located between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans?

A. Greenland

B. Crozet Islands

C. Kerguelen Islands

D. Heard Island and McDonald Islands

Explanation:

Precipitation fell at the highest point on the Greenland ice sheet as rain and notice for the first time on record. The rain fell for several hours at the ice sheet’s 3,216-metre summit on August 14, where temperatures were recorded above the freezing point for around nine hours. Greenland, which is the world’s largest island located between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, has three-quarters of its surface covered with a permanent ice sheet– which is increasingly coming under threat because of climate change.
