Greenland is an autonomous country, despite being located within the Kingdom of Denmark. The first name of this territory was given by Erik the Red, from Iceland, who had been exiled to that land, he named the place 'Groenland', which sounded as 'Green Land', because he had the hope the name would attract more people to his new settling.
