I live in Barcelona, Catalonia (SPAIN), EU.

But I was born in Lleida, a small city northwest of Barcelona.


We have loveliest of weathers!!! Myself, I am fluent in three languages: Catalan, English and Spanish. With this I can easily talk to so many people!!!

Seeing as Greenland lays on the left side of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (and it's continental plates that really set the continents' borders) and seeing as most expensive and decent Atlas' and encyclopaedias i have say it's part of North America and seeing as:

Then I'll say it IS part of North America

Uhm, Greenland is still a part of Denmark, and Svalbard is not a part of Asia

But, yeah, you're probably right, but speaking of countries, Greenland is a part of Europe

OK, forget what I just said...

The real question is why its called Greenland. It is mostly snow covered and icy. While on the other hand Iceland is very nice with hardly any snow at all. Why is this?

If I don't remember completely wrong, Greenland was called what it is because its edges look green and vegetable... The whole country wasn't, of course...
