I see by the map that Greenland has a few small towns and an USAF base,
all
right on the coast. Population is 56K, population of Iceland is 297K five
times more.

What am I missing?

I do not know, I was not talking about populations either.
I was answering a poster who claimed that Iceland had been depopulated
because of climate sometime after the settlement period, something that
never happened.

That's who I was responding to.

He referred to both Iceland and Greenland and then you felt compelled
to inform me that Iceland is not Greenland, something that I knew
already, as I live right here in Iceland.

If you'd check my post, I was responding to the person who answered you, not
to you.

No, I do not know what you are missing.


I'm referring to your post that there are large green areas, but in looking
at the map, every inhabited place I see is right on the coast, nothing
inland.

Are you a teacher by some chance?
