Greenland really intrigues me, and I'm not sure why. Something is just really fascinating to me about a HUGE island that has a smaller population than Iowa City, IA.
It seems it would be one of those utopian places, like "oh, it's called Greenland, it must be really lush and beautiful" and then you go there and find out how bleak and barren and cold and dead the place is. Kind of like the planet Venus; people used to think it would be some kind of staggeringly beautiful paradise -- it's named Venus after all -- but it turned out later that it's a hellish, 900-degree greenhouse.
