Vikings in Iceland and Greenland - Exploring the Development of Viking Civilization

Iceland and Greenland are located in the high latitude of the northern hemisphere. Iceland is one of the five Nordic countries and Greenland belongs to North America, but once they were Viking colonies, they played an important role in the Viking era. On both islands, the Uyghur civilization experienced a boom that declined between the previous 8th and 14th century BCE. By studying the history of Iceland and the development of Greenland, it seems very likely to find reasons for the ups and downs of Virgin.

Viking may not think that the exploration and solution of Greenland and Velande is different from the establishment of Greenland and Iceland. It is an extension of their motherland and will only have a different concept of the world only when they meet locals. Vinland was his work "Descriptio insularum Aquilonis" and was first written by geographer and historian Bremen Adam. In 1075 he visited Denmark's king Svend Estridson who learned about the north land and its legend. Although the legend of Viking was recorded later, especially considering the story of Europe of Christopher Columbus who discovered America in 1492, it is not considered to be reliable.

Leif Erikson is an Icelandic explorer, regarded as the first European, in addition to the Viking in Greenland landed in North America. According to Sagas in Iceland, Leif is the son of Eric the Red, the founder of the first Northern European settlement in Greenland. Leif founded a Norwegian settlement in Vinland and temporarily established contact with Norse L 'Anse aux Meadows at the northern end of Canada's modern Newfoundland. Later archaeological evidence suggests that Vinland may be around St. Lawrence Bay and the L'Anse aux Meadows site is a ship repair station.

Between the year 800 and the AD 1040, Viking explored most of the northern hemisphere of Europe and the Western Hemisphere through the river and the sea. For example, after Norwegian pirate explorer Erik the Red (950-1003) was exiled from Iceland, he departed to Greenland and his son, Icelandic explorer Leif Ericson (980-1020), and Newfoundland I arrived nearby. The North American coast is believed to be the first European to land in North America. Polynesians are about 1280 marine people who lived and explored in the central South Pacific for about 5000 years when they discovered New Zealand. The key inventions they have sought were outrigger canoes, and it provided a fast and stable platform for goods and people. According to limited evidence, navigation in New Zealand is considered intentional. Whether more than one ship is heading to New Zealand, the type of ship, or the name of a migrant is not clear.
