Why is Greenland called Greenland, when it's white and covered with ice?

@Mugin16 Oh you know your history ! damn ! I was intrigued by the fact that no trace of them subsidied , not even bones, and houses did not reveal anything untoward :)

@revenant If I remember correctly, after a glacier receded they found some old Viking houses in Greenland.

@Mugin16 wow I did not know that !

@SW-User Greenland was not a very attractive place to be, and Eric had made some serious enemies back home, but he did manages to gather 25 ships on iceland a few years later, but only 14 of them made it to greenland

@Inquisator Impressive

@SW-User His son Leif would later were the first to explore Vinland ( Newfoundland) in North America

@Mugin16 No, I mean why it's called Greenland?

@SW-User I know. I just explained it in another comment.

@Mugin16 Yeah, I've seen it
