Wasnt that the vikings mindset though "aye guys lets trick everyone into not settling in this awesome place lets name it Iceland" "excellent idea thormar" *viking high five*
Greenland was actually green when people settled there. It was a particular warm period in historiy. But then the cold came back, and the settlers had to leave.
Yeah this Viking guy found Iceland and was like 'Brooo this place is the shit, it's fuckin awesome'
'But we can't tell the other guys about it I don't wanna share'
*goes back home*
'How was the new land?'
'Pretty shit, it's all ice and you can't grow or settle anything there. But you know what's /really/ nice? The place next door, bigger too, go have fun'
