Interesting post. If they came by sea from Northern Europe (from east to west), it would be interesting to know the paleoclimatology about 10,000 years ago to see if it was feasible to run before the wind for most of the trip.
Atmospheric pressure gradients would also give an indication of the actual wind speeds.

I read quite some time ago that a wooden small boat was found on the northeastern northern coast of Greenland that had drifted there. The small boat was estimated to be at least 1,000 years old. The mystery is how it managed to make the voyage there.

I thought there were Viking settlements on Greenland at that time. Am I wrong?
