Actually, when it was named Greenland by Eric the Red, it was as today mostly ice. The Viking settlers occupied a very small habitable area. They named it Greenland in hopes of attracting settlers. Now, why is New Jersey called “The Garden State”?

Naw, Rat, you don’t want to invade Greenland, you want to build a wall around it—and make Denmark pay for it!

One of my high school friends got posted to Tahiti, the other went to Thule. After the first guy boasted about all the social action he got supplying booze to underage girls, we turned to the second guy and asked about his time there. “Oh, Thule is great. There’s a woman behind every tree.”
