Attacking to any of countries, or associated autonomous territories in the arctic region here in the cold and dark north would not be a walk in the park for any adversary.
Also, Denmark to its size has lost most soldiers per capita than any of the NATO allies in recent'ish wars started by US (mainly Afganistan and Irak).
The storyline that thanks to US protecting us our territories are safe is total bullshit. If anywhere in the world, in the north it is all about mutual benefit in defence and security when it comes to NATO.
E.g., US trains it special forces for arctic conditions in Finland from time to time.

Interesting tidbit in history of US special forces is that lots of that expertise transfered to US after the second world war from Finland, when many of the long-range patrolmen had to flee from Finland after the war. They became soon educators and developers of practices and strategies on how special forces work over there, including combat strategies and also things like how to provide food and nutrition for the teams at the field.
In Fort Carson, Colorado, there's even a special forces building named after a Finnish soldier, and associated annual price [1].
