In January, the above picture could’ve been taken almost anywhere in Scandinavia.
The Southernmost tip of Greenland is on a level with Oslo.
Nuuk is on a level with any number of Scandinavian towns.
Lateral distances are also not too far from Europe, e.g. the distance between Nuuk and Dublin is pretty much the same as the distance between Dublin and Bucharest.
Greenland isn’t that far out.
PS: I just compared the weather forecast for Nuuk and the place where I am right now (Southern Finland) and it’s a wash. Next week it’s even going to be warmer in Nuuk than here. Not much wind (chill) either.

That doesn’t mean that much, thanks to the Gulf Stream bringing warm water to the Norwegian Coast.
Ohio is on the latitude of Spain, yet I’m freezing my ass off right now.
No. A picture of almost anywhere else in Scandinavia would feature at least one tree.
There might be a few places in northern Norway that looks somewhat similar, but those wouldn’t look like that in January.
