Between AD 800 and 1050, the Vikings dared to do what other European sailors in their time would not: they sailed into open waters and well beyond any sight of land. They did so without any hint of modern navigational tools to aid them in their voyage; instead, they relied on their senses, intuition and a vast understanding of nature to guide their ships far and wide—across the North Atlantic onto our easternmost shores, and into the annals of Canadian history!
