lirik lagu why do greenland and iceland have opposite names? – kids learning tube
[chorus]
why do some countries names not match what they actually are?
let’s look at iceland and greenland’s names and why they’re bizarre
iceland and greenland are neighboring islands
located between the arctic and the atlantic oceans
greenland is covered in ice and iceland is mostly green
why are the names switched and what does it mean?
[verse 1]
early explorers were viking from the east
they would sail on large boats so their territory would increase
sailing the shortеst distance from scandinavia to iceland
would land the boat on thе southeast part of the island
although iceland is mostly green, the southeast coast has an ice cap
called vatnajokull, this is where the boat landed at
the vikings always named a place after the first thing that they saw
faced with so much ice, what else could the island be called?

[verse 2]
the vikings continued to sail until they reached greenland
whose icy landscape doesn’t start until much further inland
faced with nothing but green as far as they could see
greenland made since. you can see what i mean
only later did they realize how wrong the names were
but their maps had been made, it was too late to change for sure
