There is also a theory, based on one of the Sagas, that the Norse also had a settlement farther south, possibly in what is now the US. It appears the main reason they had settlements over here was to take advantage of the cod fishery on the Grand Banks. A fishery that has been destroyed by the Zebra Mussel infestation of the Great Lakes. The sad thing is that the water fertility problem could be solved by iron seeding, but the UN has come out against it because it's contrary to their Global Warming Dogma.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
