Why is a lush green counry called Iceland, while an icy hellhole of a coutnry is called Greenland? Eric the Red, Leif Erickson's father, wanted some of the land Leif Erickson discovered, so to deter his father from the good piece of land, he name the "lush green" country "Iceland" and the ice country "Greenland" Now you know. ALSO: I have a knack for answering idiotic questions, as I am a walking fountain of useless information
