The Geography of Medieval Greenland | Vikings at the Edge of the Ice
Most of us hear the story of how the Vikings, or Norse, sailed across the stormy Atlantic and settled Iceland. Many times we hear about the Vikings in Vinland. But too often, history discussions skip over the Norse in Greenland. These communities were long-lived outposts at the edge of an ice sheet 12,000 feet tall—they were not, however, alone. Today we dive briefly into the story of how the Norse and Thule people settled a vicious icy domain, and survived for centuries.
