    A Masterful HIstory of North Atlantic Exploration
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2020*

This profound historical narrative recounts in detail the Norse experience in settling Greenland and exploring the margins of North America.  The time frame is the five hundred years from the arrival of Eric the Red about 1000 AD until the disappearance of the Norse community around or shortly after 1500.  The review also offers a plausible proposal as to what exactly happened to the Norse colony and its inhabitants at the end of this time frame.However, The Frozen Echo is more than a stimulating mystery tale.  It is a thoroughly documented recounting of the entire realm of trade, exploration and settlement in the North Atlantic.  We learn more than one reading can absorb about the plans, failures and dreams of Norse, Danish and Icelandic merchants, fishermen and adventurers, and how Greenland went from a promising door to the future to a forgotten outpost of European culture by the time the colony was uninhabited.  The significant figures in this history range from Leif Ericson and his brothers to Icelandic nobles to Christopher Columbus and John Cabot.  The role of the Portuguese also becomes significant as Europe contends with new transatlantic discoveries and nations compete for land, trade, fish and prestige.Kim Seaver, the author, displays an encyclopedic familiarity with both the written archives of all these peoples as well as the archaeology of Greenland, Vinland and the other likely Norse discoveries.  She also exhibits and explains clearly the history of the codfish trade and its role in exploration and trade.  For any serious student of Atlantic history, this is a must read.  The tables at the end include both a useful timeline and a set of genealogical tables for the key families engaged in trade, settlement and exploration.I bought this book as a present for my husband, Robert Sweeney.  This is his review.

    Superb look at Norse Greenland
  

*by F***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2021*

For those of us that are fascinated by the extinction of Norse colonies in Greenland in the late fifteenth/early sixteenth century, this book is a treat. The writer is readable and unerringly smart, and is the only one I've ever read that really jumps into what happened at the time. I would love to meet this writer!So, if you want to know about life and why and how it probably ended for the Norse in Greenland (no spoilers), get this book. Now.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent Book
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2021*

Seaver goes into detail about Greenland's two settlements. Her theory on why the Western Settlement disappeared was very interesting. Follow the story from Lief Eriksson to the early 15th-century cod fishermen. Seaver leaves no stone uncovered.
