Is it true that Iceland is green and Greenland is icy? |
Travel Info Is it true that Iceland is green and Greenland is icy? Travel Tips Yes. To prove it to you, here is a Google Maps link to a picture of Iceland. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=... And here is a satellite image of Greenland. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=... Greenland is the large mass of land that is entirely white. Others When Greenland was first settled by Eric the Red -- it wasn't as cold in the northern hemisphere and in Europe. Eric named Greenland Greenland for 2 reasons. First, it was lush green pastureland for their sheep. Second, he wanted to attract people to migrate there. Iceland and Greenland are both pretty icy. Yes it is. In the old days, they named these lands to trick any would be invaders into thinking that greenland was a lush green environment so they wouldn't be prepared for the climate. The same would go for Iceland. They'd think it was a barren place, even though it's lush and green. This has been true for years :) Yes! Yes that is true |
