When Erik the Red settled Greenland, 35 ships left but only 14 survived the journey to Greenland.

Yeah, that’s the North Atlantic, that’s even worse than the North Sea. Crossing to Britain is a picnic compared to getting to Greenland.

It’s not surprising that the Vikings made those journeys and settlements, but it’s probably not surprising that they didn’t long endure.
