Are you heading to Iceland this summer? When exploring this beautiful country, you will be met by a verdant landscape of almost technicolor greens. Meanwhile, if you're one of the few lucky visitors who make it to the Danish territory of Greenland, much of it will be covered in ice, no matter the season. This contrast has led to many tourists making one of the most overused jokes about the two destinations: Why is Iceland green and Greenland icy? Icelanders, in particular, are pretty sick of tourists making this comment. Local Nanna Gunnarsdóttir, wrote in a blog post on Guide to Iceland that "people always exclaim this like they are the most clever person on earth."
