This map, created by Anders Kvernberg in 2018, shows Viking settlements in Greenland between 985 and 1500.
In the centre left, the author shows an overview of Greenland, the route by which the Vikings arrived on the island and the three main regions where Viking settlements were established:
- Eastern settlement (top left): Located in the south of the island, this was the main Viking settlement. To date, 250 farms, 14 churches and 2 monasteries have been excavated. Among the farms is Garðar (in the central part), which was the residence of the island's first chief.
- Western settlement (in the central right-hand section): Located in the central part of the island's west coast. Smaller in size, it is believed to have been established to begin walrus hunting in spring.
- Northern settlement (top right): Located north of the west coast of Greenland. It was used only in summer for walrus hunting.
The author also includes at the bottom a chronology of the settlements and the number of inhabitants on the island during that period. The population reached 2,500 inhabitants around the year 1300.
