【No. 0189】Greenland and Iceland
Jun 25, 2015 14:58
Today, I learned about etymologies of Greenland and Iceland.
Both of them were named by Erik the Red in the 10th century.
Firstly, he gave an island the name Iceland, and tried to marshal residents.
However, he couldn't gather a lot of people because of the island's name.
Next, he gave an island the name of Greenland from his failure, though there were almost no green in the island.
In other words, he lied.
Resultingly, he couldn't gather a lot of people to the island as well.
Iceland has a lot of green, and Greenland has a lot of ice.
These are so beautiful, so I want to go there someday.
