Greenland will be GREEN...

Wasn’t it green during the Vikings era? Or was it a scam?


Realtors were just trying to sell real estate to gullible Norwegians.

The sagas say the Leif Ericksson named Greenland because the name his father had given to Iceland discouraged settlers from Norway. Only rudimentary agriculture was possible on Greenland, even in those days. The Greenland settlements died out after about a century.
