Norse Ruins in Nuuk Fjord

Norse Ruins in Nuuk Fjord

The Norse made it far up in Greenland after arriving in Greenland in 982. Over the next 450 years, they even built north of Nuuk.

The Norse settlers came to Greenland in 982. Around the year 1200, the Norse/Viking culture peaked. Up to 2,500 people lived in Greenland at this time, and the Norse had a lively trade with Europe, which demanded luxury goods such as walrus tusks, which the Norse traveled far up Greenland's west coast to obtain. Nothing lasts forever, and climate change and the onset of the Little Ice Age caused populations to consolidate in South Greenland by the early 1300s. Here, agriculture was still possible despite the cold summers and longer winters. Some of the best-preserved farms are located in the fjord system near Nuuk, bearing witness to the abovementioned migration. You can also see them and wonder what it was like to live here 800 years ago.
