Yes… the Titanic hit an iceberg on her maiden voyage from Southampton (England) to New York (America). The iceberg that sank the  Titanic originated from an ice-shelf located in Ilulissat, Greenland. Around eighty-five percent of all icebergs found in the North Atlantic come from the ice fjords on Greenland’s west coast.

Greenland itself is part of the Artic region.

The Arctic is a polar region located at the northernmost part of Earth. The Arctic consists of the Arctic Ocean, adjacent seas, and parts of Alaska (United States), Northern Canada (Canada), Finland, Greenland (Denmark), Iceland, Norway, Russia and Sweden. Land within the Arctic region has seasonally varying snow and ice cover, with predominantly treeless permafrost-containing tundra. Arctic seas contain seasonal sea ice in many places.
