Strawberries in Greenland?

Thanks to global warming, it’s possible to raise cattle in Greenland for the first time in hundreds of years

Only 19 cows currently graze on the island, and each of them has a name.

But their numbers could multiply as the climate warms.

Climate change has also substantially lengthened Greenland’s growing season.

“It’s already staying warm until November now,” potato farmer Ferdinand Egede told Der Spiegel.

Rising temperatures have already added two weeks to Greenland’s growing season, which now amounts to 120 days. With up to 20 hours of daylight during the summer in southern Greenland, the additional two weeks make a huge difference.

If the island’s growing season, which now starts in May, begins just two weeks earlier, farmers could even grow apples and strawberries, Der Spiegel noted.
