Greenland, an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark , goes to the polls next week .

President Trump first talked about a Greenland takeover in his first term of office before returning to the theme at the start of this year .

For many younger Danes , control of Greenland is plain wrong - they want it handed over to the US instead.

Greenland is the most centrally located place on Earth , says world-renowned geologist Prof Minik Rosing .

Geologist says the vastness of Greenland and the lack of infrastructure are just two elements why the island may not be the cashpoint some Americans are hoping for.

But Prof Rosing believes there may be a troubling conclusion to be drawn.
