All hail Greencanadaland.
Wouldn't it be Iceland? Or is that for the ice part of that region? Or is it the other way round.
Other way around, iceland is the small island next to it, and Greenland is the big frozen mass labelled canada here.

Ok who is responsible for naming this? I need to know
National Geographic did an article on that
I've always remembered it like this:
Greenland is icy, Iceland is green.
