Greenland is a misnomer because it's a name of a land but it's not green at all. It's actually white. During the Viking period, Erik the Red named Greenland hoping it'll trick settlers coming over. The trick worked because they thought the land was green with no air pollution and it's a quiet park as they looked at the map, but when they got there, they froze to death.
