    Is it true that Iceland is full of greenery and Greenland is full of ice?

    Question #111641. Asked by puppy_luv16. (Dec 22 09 10:33 AM)

    It may take only two hours to fly to Greenland from Iceland but it is a world of difference here. The Gulf Stream has bestowed Iceland with much greenery but Greenland, in particular, Kulusuk along the east coast, lies on 65'C 35'’, just south of the Arctic Circle, and way off the warm Gulf Stream. Granite rock, massive icebergs, bare haunting landscape with tiny pockets of greenery which in any case comprise of mainly grass and algae, and loaming inland is the Greenland Icecap, which covers more than 85% of the world’s largest island.
