Answer:

During the medieval warm period it was even greener. Greenland was named for green places that they lived. It was not named for the glacial areas they never went to. Today the place is not named Greenland by the people who live there and whose country it is.

the answer is given below

Explanation:

So how did it get its name “Greenland” when it's not really green? It actually got its name from Erik The Red, an Icelandic murderer who was exiled to the island. He called it “Greenland” in hopes that the name would attract settlers.
