- Summary:
- The Vikings undoubtedly were the greatest explorers of the Middle Ages. Able sailors, they colonized many northern islands-Britain, Ireland, and, still farther afield, the Shetlands, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Greenland. Greenland long was thought to be the only territory to resist their colonization, which came to a mysterious end in the early 15th century. According to the most widely accepted interpretation, their settlements there failed due to their inability to survive the extreme rigors of Greenland's climate. However, recent discoveries by a Franco-Danish team tell a different story.
