How did Viking sailors cross the freezing North Atlantic — without fire, shelter, or dying?

This history documentary uncovers the forgotten science behind Viking endurance — an ancient history of wool, discipline, and design.
Archaeology at Skuldelev and Roskilde reveals ships with no hearths, no soot — proof that “fireless sailing” was intentional strategy, not ignorance.

Through modern reconstructions like The Sea Stallion Project, we rediscover a form of primitive technology built on teamwork and adaptation — a system that turned the North Atlantic into a living laboratory of survival.

They conquered cold not by fighting nature, but by mastering it.

This documentary was produced with AI-assisted storytelling and verified historical research (using LLM technology).
