Greenland

The Whale

Greenland is a recurring geographical reference in the book’s index, which associates the island with Arctic settings and the history of whaling. The supplied passages do not develop a particular Greenland scene; its presence is instead registered through the index’s network of locations and subjects.

Geographic References

The index directs readers to Greenland on pages 19, 263, 276, 282, 284, 296, and 353. It lists the Greenland Sea separately, with references to pages 283 and 290, distinguishing the island from the surrounding named marine region.

Whaling History

In its entry on whaling, the index includes Greenland among the places from which whaling is discussed. This places the island within the book’s wider geography of the trade, alongside Arctic and other regional fisheries, without identifying a specific Greenland voyage or incident in the supplied evidence.

Narrative Significance

Greenland’s significance here is cumulative rather than attached to one narrated event: repeated page references make it part of the book’s broad northern maritime geography. The separate indexing of Greenland and the Greenland Sea also reflects the book’s attention to both land-based locations and the waters through which whaling history is organized.
