Kalaallit Nunaat, Gronland

Flag adopted: 21 June 1985
Designer: Thue Christiansen

Meaning of the Flag
The flag of Greenland, or Kalaallit Nunaat, celebrated its 10 anniversary in June 10, 1995. For this occasion, the Greenland Post Office, issued some stamps and a brochure explaining the flag. The text in the brochure is written by Thue Christiansen, the flag's designer. Christiansen makes some remarks about the natural features of Greenland, and then goes on to account for the symbolism of the flag:

"the large white part in the flag symbolises the ice cap and our fjords are represented by the red part in the circle. The white part of the circle symbolises the ice bergs and the pack ice, and the large red part in the flag represents the ocean."

In other interpretations the circle is seen as representing the rising and setting sun.
Jan Oskar Engene, 18 October 1995

Description of the Flag
As for the design, the following specifications are given in the brochure (mentioned above):

"The flag is 12 parts by 18, the white and red stripe are both 6 parts. The centre of the circle is set 7 parts from the hoist along the dividing line between the white and red, the radius being 4 parts. The upper part of the circle is red, the lower white."

Jan Oskar Engene, 18 October 1995

Name of the Flag
The flag is called Erfalasorput (meaning 'our flag'), but is also called Aappalaaroq - 'the red'. This term also used to be applied to the Danish flag. In Thue Christiansen's words:

"The colours are the same as 'Dannebrog' (the Danish national flag) and thus we can also continue to call our flag Aappalaartoq, 'the red'."

This was probably the reason why the design won over the proposed green and white Scandinavian cross design.
