If I remember correctly they were exiled and couldn't go back, but wanted to attract people to come live there and start new settlements so they lied about the conditions lol

Actually, naming Greenland was a false narrative by a viking that went out sailing in search of new lands, but he found Greenland (covered in ice of course), so he couldn't just go back home and tell everyone thay he failed or that he found this icy piece of land, so... he lied 🤷. And it worked, a lot of vikings came to Greenland, but because the trip to it was already exausting, they just didn't wanna leave to go back home, so they set up shop there. So... yeah, it kinda worked.
