The aspect ratio is agreeable with an eyeball-estimate on a globe. Such an estimate on a flat map would be less accurate due to the distortion of high-[[latitude]] [[Orthographic projection (cartography)|projections]]. The circularity is deceptively low, due to the [[fjord]]s that give Greenland a very jagged [[Coastline paradox|coastline]]. A low value of circularity does not necessarily indicate a lack of symmetry
