My sister is trying to find famous areas or monuments around the world that have now become popular and highly visited...yet their names mean or indicate sth different...or an opposite meaning
Can you think of examples?
A now modern popular area which name indicates sth totally different?
Heck yes, Mount Lavender in southern Bulgaria was once called Mount Liverwurst but the name didn't role off the tongue so it was changed to mean Lavender the color of Liver once cooked and cooled to room temp! Yum Yum. Hope that helped.
Reply:Greenland is getting more tourists, there sure isn't much there that is green, it is mostly ice. Supposedly it was named by some of the Vikings who "discovered it" to attract settlers.
The Aral Sea, one the 4th largest fresh water lake, is now mostly desert due to the diversion of its major rivers. This "Sea" may be gone in another decade.
