The annual rainfall in Greenland varies from less than 50 millimetres (2 inches) in Peary Land in the north to over 1,000 millimetres in the south around Torgilsbu.
In the latter region the total annual precipitation (rain and snow) can be as high as 2,500 millimetres (100 inches) including over 12 metres (470 inches) of snow. This is due to the extremely unsettled conditions produced by the Icelandic Low which drives moist air from the Atlantic onto southeastern Greenland. A result of this gradient is that on the Greenland Ice Sheet flow is frequently poleward rather than equatorward, since most accumulation is int eh southern part of the island.
