Arkeologen Greer Jarrett har seglat som en viking under tre års tid. Nu kan han visa att vikingarna seglade längre bort från Skandinavien, och tog rutter längre ut från land, än man tidigare trott var möjligt. I sin senaste studie har han hittat spår av ett decentraliserat nätverk av hamnar, belägna på öar och halvöar, som troligen spelade en central roll för vikingatidens handel och resor. Men Gr
