Lots of people do not think Greenland is an appropriate name for it because Greenland used to be warm and had open fields. So when the Norse settlers came they enjoyed living there, but the Earth soon becamecold and forced the Norse settlers out so Greenland was not Green anymore it was icy and frigid.
