Switch Greenland and Iceland’s Names: Greenland to Iceland, Iceland to Greenland

Petition Details

I want the Government or Parliament to support renaming Greenland to Iceland and Iceland to Greenland. This would correct the historical misnomer, as Greenland is icy, and Iceland is greener. The name swap would improve geographical accuracy and reduce confusion in education and travel.

Additional Information

The names Greenland and Iceland are historically misleading, causing confusion in education and navigation. Greenland is icy, while Iceland is greener. Renaming them would reflect their true nature, improve geographical accuracy, and end unnecessary confusion for travelers and map users. This symbolic change would also highlight the importance of accurate representation in geography.
