The name of this seaside resort is of the same Scandinavian origin as Greenland's (and also means "green land" in Danish), probably because of the abundance of seaweed, which makes the air smell of iodine.

Liberty Monument and Churchill Tank

Highlight • Monument

This Churchill tank belonged to the British 79th Armored Division. This unit was commanded by Major-General Sir Percy C. S. Hobart who was the initiator, among others, of this special armored division. It was almost entirely equipped with special armored vehicles, which were of great use on the day of the Normandy landings. This one was a Churchill Avre (Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers), its turret was equipped with a 290 mm projectile launcher. This charge was intended to destroy fortifications or obstacles. This machine was donated by General Ian Harris who commanded the 2nd Battalion Royal Ulster Rifles on June 6, 1944.
