Season 01: The Alternative History of Iceland What if Icelanders had settled in North America during the Viking Age? What if Iceland was wiped out by a volcano and the survivors moved to Denmark? What if Iceland had been occupied by the Nazis instead of the Allies? What if the Nordic Countries had united? And what if the economic collapse had been averted? Listen to historians Valur Gunnarsson and Jón Trausti Sigurðarson talk about Icelandic history as it happened and what could have been. Produced by Sindri Freyr Steinsson Season 02: The Last Viking Mystery What happened to the Viking colony in Greenland, which strangely disappeared after almost 500 years? Join us in a voyage of discovery that takes us from the home of Eric the Red in Western Iceland to the Viking settlement in North America and the frozen wastes of Greenland as we try to solve the greatest mystery the North has even known.
