Colonisation

Legends of Norse Settlers drove Denmark towards Greenland

The Danish colonisation of Greenland in the 18th century was in part driven by the desire to re-establish contact with early Norse settlers that vanished from the island in the course of the 15th century. Legends about the Norsemen – and their wealth – circulated in Western culture and led to a race towards Greenland to find them, argues Robert Rix in his new book The Vanished Settlers of Greenland.
