"No trees on Greenland to build boats."

But there were plenty of trees to the west and Newfoundland was closer than Iceland. I think they abandoned Greenland and were ultimately absorbed by the native populations in North America.

There was a thread a month or so ago on native (Alquonqin?) (spelling?) languages that have (or is interpreted to have) Old Norse names and pronounciations. I imagine that was Sunk’s doing as well!

Eric the Red - Greenland. And then made it to North America. Thank goodness!

Otherwise we may never have gotten the Red Green Show from Canada!
