Is Greenland very green?
Greenland is world's largest island and its capital name is Nuuk and lies mostly in the
Arctic Circle. But unlike the name,is full of Ice and is hardly very clean anywhere.There are thin
patches of grass and soil,heather and small flowering plants.Rest of ice free area is Barren rock.
Near the sea man raised beaches and terraces containing shells of marine Mollusca and similar
substances indicate that Greenland was raised or the sea had sunk during the post glacial times.

In the airline 982, Eric Thorvaldsson better known as Eric The Red sailed from Iceland and
reached the South Western coast of Greenland.He had been exiled from his country for 3
years for murdering a man.He spent all of these years exploring this quite land.
When he returned to Iceland,He told people about this new place and to make its
sound attractive he called it Greenland. Many people decided to go to this place and Eric
started again in 986 with 25 ships.Only for 14 of these reach the destination and a colony was founded on the South West Coast.Many explorers visited Greenland after this.The great ice
cap which covers most of the interior of Greenland attracted many scientific expeditions.Eskimos
from the Canadian archipelago had migrated to Greenland even before Eric the red found it.
Many Danish people now live in this country.Both Danish and Eskimo languages are spoken.
The total population of Greenland is very small compared to the size of Greenland.Most of the people live on the southwest coast area which is ice free.
