Speedy bearings to slacked steering: Mapping the navigation patterns and motions of Viking voyages
Viking sailors ruled the North Atlantic Ocean for about three hundred years. Their main sailing route was the 60° 21’ 55’’ latitude between Norway and Greenland. Although they did not have a magnetic compass, in sunshine they used a sun-compass to determine the geographical north (solar Viking navig...
