The Vikings' departure from Greenland during the 14th century can be attributed to a confluence of factors, including climate change, economic hardships, and resource depletion. The Norse settlers initially thrived in Greenland, establishing farms and trading networks. However, as the climate began to shift, leading to the onset of the Little Ice Age, agricultural productivity declined. This deterioration forced the Vikings to confront dwindling resources, making it increasingly difficult to sustain their settlements. Additionally, economic ties with Europe weakened, further complicating their ability to trade and acquire essential supplies. As conditions worsened, many settlers abandoned their farms, leaving Greenland largely uninhabited by the late medieval period. This migration reflects the broader challenges faced by Viking societies as they adapted to changing environmental and economic realities.
