Travel with us in the wake of the Vikings as they migrated from their native Scandinavia to Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland, discovering and settling the New World 500 years before Christopher Columbus arrived. Learn how they cornered the Ivory Market worldwide from Greenland during their heydays in the 15th Century there. Take away an appreciation for the real people they were, and their true legacy, laying to rest our belief in the myth that they were fearsome warrior marauders.
