#+DESCRIPTION: The last surviving members of the Norse Greenlanders left little to no trace. Did they return to Northern Europe or Iceland, move on to Baffin, or sink to the bottom of the Atlantic?
#+KEYWORDS: greenlanders baffin

I found a link to the PBS video I watched a few weeks ago. Secrets of
the Dead, the Lost Vikings, filmed circa 1999. It examines what
happened to the Norse Greenlander society and speculates about what
happened to the last members, of which at the time we had little or no
evidence.

Dr Sutherland's work circa 2012 to find evidence at Baffin Island
(Eirikr the Red called it Helluland, modern Inuktitut calls it
Qikiqtaaluk).

This link goes to a Change.org petition to reinstate Dr Sutherland to
continue her work. Last update from December 2015.
