Now scientists are pretty sure they have the answer: They simply up and left.
Wow, imagine that...........

Evidence for them “up and leaving” came to light as the glaciers melted and uncovered their settlements. [/sarc]

There was a History show on awhile ago that blamed a cooling period AND their new-found Christianity to blame. The cooling was a fact and their crops failed, livestock died, etc.
The conjecture part (or maybe they had some old records/accounts) was that the Inuit survived by hunting seals, etc. (like they always had). They invited the Norse along, but because of their religious beliefs the Norse thought it would be wrong to go on the hunts as the start of the hunts always began with Inuit religous ceremonies.

It was amazingly easy for them to leave, too. After all, they had boats. That's why they were living along fjords and inlets.

They probably felt guilty for living in Greenland, which appears disproportionately bigger on the mercatur projection map.
You know, this is racist, because lighter skinned people tend to live in the northern latitudes, and this map makes those lands seem more important by making them seem bigger than those in southern latitudes, more often populated with darker skinned people.
(Has anyone else seen this line of leftist bllsht?)
