You're holding the map upside down in your mitten!" xoxoxoBruce Saturday Mar 13 09:36 AM Bah, real Inuits don't ask for no stinkin' directions. glatt Saturday Mar 13 10:55 AM I'd love to see a comparison of this set against a modern map of the same coastline. xoxoxoBruce Saturday Mar 13 12:27 PM Don't forget, none of these people saw more of Greenland at once, than they could see from a tall hill, and probably most never saw all of the coast in their lifetimes. glatt Saturday Mar 13 01:28 PM Sure, but the same can be said of the maps from Columbus's time, and they are cool to look at and compare with modern maps. squirell nutkin Saturday Mar 13 04:11 PM Quote:
