Disappearance of the Vikings

    


    Theories as to why the Vikings had disappeared: there have been many speculations as to why the Norsemen who had settled the territory around 1000 AD had vanished by the 15th century.  Some believe it was the work of Basque pirates or the Black Plague but as more plausible theory is that they settled the island during a warmer period, where farming was still possible.  But as the “Little Ice Age” set in, they wouldn’t adapt to the new conditions and kept trying to farm the land.  The native Inuit population on the other hand, had hunted seals and whales for survival, which could be done in a colder or warmer climate.
