Umm, a check of any related reference work will tell you that
Greenland is administered[*] by .... your own country: Denmark.

Thus, sites in Greenland that choose to use the country code form
would have names that end in .dk.

[*] "administered" my not be the right word.  It isn't technically a
part of Denmark, nor is it a colony, but, if you want to go there,
your first stop (after the psychiatrist (:-)) [**] is the Danish
Government/Embassy/Consulate.

[**] This is tounge-in-cheek.  The country is ferociously beautiful
(at least from the window of a 747) and I would like to visit there
someday.  The weather there isn't a lot different from that outside my
window right now.
