The Greenland shark, Somniosus microcephalus, also known as the sleeper shark, gurry shark, ground shark, grey shark, or by the Inuit Eqalussuaq, is a large shark native to the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean around Greenland and Iceland.These sharks live further north than any other shark species. They are closely related to the Pacific sleeper shark. This is one of the largest species of shark, of dimensions comparable to those of the Great White Shark. Large Greenland Sharks grow to 6.4 meters (21 feet) and 1000 kg (2200 lbs), and possibly up to 7.3 meters (24 feet).
It rivals the Pacific sleeper shark (possibly up to 7 meters or 23 feet long) as the largest species in the Somniosidae family.
