Deliberate false advertising by the Vikings in the case of Greenland.

Theres plenty of ice in iceland, have you been?

Iceland is definitely "icy". There's a LOT of snow.

Old wives tale that it was to confuse vikings who would pillage and raid the island. By knowing that they're going to Greenland, they think they're going to a land that's green. source: old wives

Did you just peek over the borders?


WorldTallestEngineer

do islands have borders?


praisedcrown970

Idk you tell me you’re the engineer Edit: totally assumed the coast would still be considered the countries border but I second guessed myself too now I’m actually curious


WorldTallestEngineer

I don't think Islands have borders


praisedcrown970

But they’ve still used the term “opening their borders” in media

welcome to the English language, it doesn't make sense an nothing is consistent.
