GREENLAND,
    Probably most of you reading this know the story of how Greenland was "discovered" by Leif Eriksson, who told tales of a land of milk and honey to promote his colonization scheme.  Ice core analysis seems to give us the information that Mr. Eriksson went there during a relatively warm period, and he had some modest success in his colonization venture for a while.  Then it got cold again, and the Europeans refused to adapt the methods of the natives, so they (the Euros) left or died while the natives stayed and survived.  Greenland today is not a Danish colony but rather is a part of Denmark.  Denmark, therefore, has the largest land area of any European country except Russia, which sort of doesn't count, right?  And its getting warmer, maybe it'll be green some day soon.
