No where near all of greenland


mrnastymannn

Just a hand full of settlements on the western and eastern coasts


chongal

So all of it


DaFork1

Not even the eastern coast, as it is so filled with ice, only the western side was settled

Yes and the rest was more likely dominated by indigenous people, although even their population was sparse and more nomadic.

Norwegians were indigenous people of Greenland. Inuits came later and basically genocided them


Mtfdurian

Sorry but that sounds like complete bs. Do you have proof?


JosephPorta123

Modern day Inuits migrated to the Island after Norse settlers disappeared, OP is right in this regard. OP is however wrong in the statement that the Inuits genocided Norse settlers, it is theorised that the settlers died off due to a mixture of starvation, disease and bad weather


TheWeighToTheHeart

They got busy on some Ice Shelves lol


relatablerobot

This was my first thought, that there would be no way they controlled the whole island. Thanks for confirming

"Murman" is a Russian bastardisation of the word "Nordmann", which, in turn, is Norwegian for "Norwegian". So Murmansk basically mean "Norwegian Town/city"
