I think ppl in Greenland did that just to troll idiots like Vance. Same with guys on Iceland...
Epic 1,000 year troll!!!! This guy should be a legend, a myth, a story that should have sagas written
I think we'll never forget this guy named JD Vance who vent to Greenland and was shocked it was fucking cold there...
According to the Saga of Erik the Red, Erik spent his three years of exile exploring this land. … When Erik returned to Iceland after his exile had expired, he is said to have brought with him stories of "Greenland". Erik purposefully gave the land a more appealing name than "Iceland" as "people would be attracted to go there if it had a favorable name", per Erik's own words.[19][20] Erik knew that the success of any settlement in Greenland would need the support of as many people as possible. Erik's salesmanship of Greenland proved successful in…. as 1,043 years later a widely reviled politician who insisted he never he’d close personal relations with a couch, was quoted to exclaim in surprise “it’s fucking cold up there. Nobody told me that”
