Erik the Red's Bold Voyage to Greenland

The Viking Harbor Where Eric the Red Set Sail for Greenland Picture this: a windswept Icelandic

fjord where history's boldest Viking made a desperate gamble. This is the very harbor where outlaw

Erik the Red loaded his longship, not with treasure, but with survival gear and families

brave enough to follow him into the unknown. Banished from Iceland for murder,

he turned exile into opportunity by selling Greenland as a "green land" to desperate settlers.

But the wild truth? He discovered a frozen coastline, then spun a brilliant story to convince

others it was paradise. Would you have boarded that ship trusting a murderer's sales pitch?

What desperate courage did it take to sail toward an icy mystery while leaving everything familiar behind?
