The Greenland Vikings - Land of the Midnight Sun

One of the most unlikely tales of a society's fall is the incredible saga of the Vikings of Greenland. Series host Paul Cooper reveals how these European settlers built a society on the farthest edge of their world, and survived for centuries among some of the harshest conditions ever faced by man. He shows how this civilization was able to overcome the odds for so long, and examines the evidence about what happened to cause its final and mysterious collapse as revealed by Viking poetry, Inuit folktales and thousands upon thousands of walrus.
