How did the Vikings Discover Greenland? (2017x88)


Yayınlanma tarihi: Ara 21, 2017

Greenland is the largest island on earth not to be counted as a continent in its own right and like many islands in the North Atlantic it was discovered and colonised by Norsemen. After last week's video about how the Norse discovered Iceland, I thought this was the next logical step in a series about Norse expansion westward, culminating in settlements on the North American mainland a generation after the successful colonisation of Greenland which made it possible. In this video I will talk about the first (known at least) Europeans to see and set foot in Greenland, including the tales of famous Norsemen like Gunnbjörn Ulfsson, Snæbjörn Galti and Eiríkr hinn rauði (Eric the Red).
