Greenland is in the north of Europe. Near Greenland is another island. It is small. Its name is Iceland.
Do you think that Greenland is green and warm? Do you think that Iceland is white with ice? If you do, you are wrong.
Not many people live on the big island of Greenland. There are more people in your hometown than in the whole Greenland. That is because Greenland is not green. Greenland is white. Most of Greenland is covered (覆盖) with ice. The ice is higher than some of the world’s tall buildings.
What about Iceland? Is it colder than Greenland? No, it isn’t. Iceland has ice, but not so much. Iceland has a lot of hot springs. They give out hot water and steam (蒸汽). So it is not as cold as Greenland. And there are a lot of people in Iceland.
