Greenland & Iceland

Hey Friends. Wow and we says this when we find something 'Amazing' - And when I read Amazing Facts, I also said, 'Wow' and here I am sharing Amazing Facts with you all. Read and come back for more as I will place more and more every time I come across something interesting.

Greenland & Iceland:

Towars the North side of North America, lies two countries: Greenland and Iceland.

From these names of countries, we can say that Greenland must be full of greenery and beauty. Iceland must be full of ice and mountains.

No. We think wrong! Amazing thing is Greenland is actually full of ice and mountains and Iceland is a normal country with land, rivers and no ice!!!

These names are opposite because the people who first visited these countries saw a difference that the population of Greenland has been decreased and Iceland has been over populated. So, they gave the opposite names to the countries so that the population could be average.

I have made a scrap book of Amazing Facts and you too can do the same.
