Greenland’s Rainbow Towns

Greenland’s Rainbow Towns!Imagine a town where houses come in every color of the rainbow! That’s exactly what you’ll find in Greenland, a giant island way up north next to Canada. On your next visit to the Nordics [visitthenordics.com], be sure to visit the fjords (super cool giant cracks in the Earth filled with water!) because that’s where you’ll find these colorful houses!

But why are they so colorful? It’s not just to look pretty (although they are super pretty!). Back in the olden days, before everyone had phones and GPS, painting your house a certain color helped people know who lived there! Red houses meant a school or church, yellow meant a doctor lived there, and blue houses were for fishermen. Pretty cool, right?

Today, people can pick any color they like, and that’s why Greenland’s towns look like they exploded in a paint factory! Wouldn’t it be fun to have a bright green house, or maybe a sunshine yellow one? Next time you visit the Nordics [visitthenordics.com], see if you can spot some colorful houses in Greenland!
