What's the story of Greenland?

In 980 AD, a group of Normans were stranded on a reef for the winter on their way to Iceland. After returning to the motherland, they turned these reefs into a vast land.

This is very attractive to adventurers, who have gone to explore one after another, and even murderers have joined the ranks.

At this time, a man named Eric? Lauda was deported from Norway for murder and came to Iceland. He still kept his bad habits and was expelled by the locals for another three years.

Around 982 AD, Eric made an appointment with some friends to find a new residence. They set out from Iceland and sailed north to 65 ~ 66 north latitude, where they saw a piece of land. They tried to cross the ice several times, but all failed.

After that, Eric and others sailed about 650 kilometers westward along the coastline, landed on an island outside the Cape of Good Hope, and spent a winter there. In the summers of the second and third years, Eric explored the west coast between 60 and 65 north latitude, which was covered with huge ice.

During two summers of exploration, Eric found several flat places in the narrow strip of the southwest coast. Surrounded by ice and snow wasteland, it is a good place to resist the cold wind.

Living in a bad environment, Eric and others survived and returned to Iceland. In order to deceive Icelanders with a friendly name and persuade them to move to that daunting place, he called these flat places Greenland, which means "green land".

Deceived by lies, Eric's work of recruiting immigrants in Iceland went very smoothly. In 986, he led a fleet of 25 ships to Greenland.

During the voyage, they encountered a storm, several ships capsized, several ships turned around and returned, and the remaining 14 and 15 ships carried more than 500 immigrants to overcome the storm and arrived in South Greenland. Eric lives in the south bank area of 6 1 north latitude.

Soon after, the Normans expanded northward from the southern coast and reached the Arctic Circle along the western part of Greenland around the 10 century. In order to find marine animals, the Normans also sailed north along the west coast and reached the 73 rd line.

They once wanted to go north along the frozen coast of eastern Greenland, where they fished and hunted, and prepared to build a permanent settlement, but they failed.

In 987 AD, an Icelandic navigator named Bianchi lost his way in the dense fog on his way to Greenland. He sailed aimlessly for many days. /kloc-more than 0/0 days later, he turned the bow and sailed north, and finally arrived in Greenland, a land with rolling mountains.

In fact, there are no dense forests in Greenland, and immigrants are particularly short of wood. The wood of residents' houses depends entirely on exchanging skins and prey with the outside world. In order to find wood for building winter houses, residents here have sailed to the northeast coast of North America on Route 40.
