There was a considerable amount of traffic between Greenland and Europe, by the standards of the time, so some skippers were making their first trip. The directions were, at first, to sail two and a half days west from Iceland to the shore of Greenland where there stood the landmark Blasark (black shirt) Mountain. Then sail down the coast to Eriksfjord, a beautiful broad straight passage across southern Greenland. Reaching the west coast they should turn right up the coast to the navigation marker on Herjolf's Ness. (About "Bluie West 3"in WW II.) Turning in to Tunugdliarfik Fjord Erik's homestead Brattahlid was only 75 miles at the end of the fjord (across from Bluie West 1, for you old timers). <BR/><BR/>After 1200 CE the directions changed. Sail one and a half days west from Iceland to the edge of the ice pack. If it is clear you might see the mountain Hvitsark to the west (snow covered now?), then go all the way down around hazardous Cap Farvel and up the other coast to Herjolf's Ness. Eriksfjord was no longer open, nor is it now. As of a decade or so ago there were two valley glaciers blocking it from the sides. Yes, I saw them. If Greenland ice diminishes some, will we be getting back to conditions like it used to be? "<BR/><BR/>Where are the facts please?:<BR/><BR/>The so called "consensus" is just that, so-called. Many scientists who disagree are black listed. Many weather persons are accepted into umbrella organization for weather forecaster if they disagree. Global Warming is the “New Communism” in the world in the way it is conducted and how facts are quelled. <BR/>A while back in history there was a scientific consensus that the earth was flat, that is until Gallileo came along and finally proved otherwise.<BR/><BR/>Here is an excerpt form my blog about Global Warming Lies:<BR/><BR/>A few more facts:<BR/><BR/>*Water vapor is a vastly more common Green House Gas than CO2.<BR/><BR/>*Studies in Antarctica (as well as many other places, including Mt Shasta in the USA) show the ice sheet growing, not retreating. Most articles make it sound as if all of Antarctica is melting. As far as I’m concerned, these reports are misleading, because it's mainly only the ice on the Antarctic Peninsula that's melting. <BR/>Here is a balanced site that shows areas of Glacial retreat as well as advances:<BR/>List of Expanding Glaciers <BR/><BR/>*Studies in Greenland show periods of Global Warming corresponded to increased Solar activity (as measured by trapped by beryllium-10 in ice cores. This radioactive isotope is created when energetic particles in cosmic rays enter the Earth's atmosphere and split atomic nuclei of nitrogen and oxygen. Beryllium-10)<BR/>Data clearly shows that the Sun is in a state of unusually high activity, for about the last 60 years. The time interval for which this statement can be made has been tripled by these new investigations, for now the reconstructed sunspot numbers extend back to 850 AD. Another period of enhanced solar activity, but with substantially fewer sunspots than now, occurred in the Middle Ages from 1100 to 1250. At that time, a warm period reigned over the Earth, as the Vikings established flourishing settlements in Greenland.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://american-aquarium.blogspot.com/2007/01/global-warming-farce.html" REL="nofollow">The Global Warming Farce</A>Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08990418413388950446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6727975.post-84117537169218972052007-02-21T11:31:00.000+13:002007-02-21T11:31:00.000+13:00You have done a nice blog.You have done a nice blog.Vacationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16044353043496860753noreply@blogger.com
