At www.icenews.is/index.php/2012/01/28/evidence-suggests-vikings-grew-grain… we learn that the Medieval Warm Period must have been somewhat warmer than the present day temperatures of Greenland as researchers from the Danish National Museum have discovered the Vikings brewed beer and grew grain. The evidence is said to come from a dung hill. At the same web site, see www.icenews.is/index.php/2012/01/28/vikings-explore-hudson-bay/ .. we are informed a group of modern Vikings, or Danes, intend to explore Hudson Bay in the summer in search of evidence that Vikings in the past travelled that way. Although Vinland is usually thought to be Newfoundland due to the discovery of the remains of a brief Viking settlement on the island, others are convinced Vinland was elsewhere in North America.
