“Back then, the climate was milder than it is today”

The remains of the farms and churches of the Norse are found
throughout South Greenland. The large granite and sandstone blocks at the ruins have many good stories to tell. The oldest is about Erik the Red who was banished from Iceland in 982.

Back then, the climate was milder than it is today.

    lol, so…… a warmer climate is a milder climate……but we knew that already. As evidenced by the lack of hurricanes for the last decade or so.

    I am certain that, were he alive today, Casey would be able to describe the “Team” as well as ever he did.

    Greenland Vikings traveled between Greenland and America harvesting lumber for 300 years. Their route was north along the coast crossing over in calmer water and a shorter distance between land. Ice was not a problem then; it would be today. The more direct route in the open ocean of the North Atlantic was hazardous for their cargo ships.

    Before being banished from Iceland, Eric was banished from Norway for killing someone. They didn’t have a death penalty even then.
