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.

... 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.
