The Great Courses - History of the Vikings - Season 1 Episode 22 : Western Voyages to Greenland and Vinland 1970
/10 by 0 users
The daunting climate and the ultimate paucity of marketable trade goods prevented Greenland from becoming a viable settlement, while Vinland settlements foundered due to hostile Algonquins and remoteness from the Scandinavian homeland. The American fascination with these voyages reveals a sentiment the Icelanders would have appreciated, a yearning for connection with an ancient past.
