Have you ever wondered what happened to the Norse settlers who disappeared from Greenland?
In the early 10th century, Erik the Red led a group of Norsemen to settle the icy expanses of Greenland.
For centuries, they thrived, building churches, farming, and trading walrus ivory across Europe.
However, by the 15th century, these once-flourishing colonies had vanished without a trace.
Archaeologists discovered abandoned farms and churches, but no definitive clues to their sudden departure.
Theories abound: was it climate change, Inuit conflicts, or a desperate migration back to Iceland?
Despite numerous expeditions and scholarly research, the fate of the Greenland Norse remains shrouded in mystery.
Today, their abandoned settlements stand as silent testament to a riveting and unresolved chapter in human history.
