来自美国罗德岛布朗大学的威廉·迪安德瑞亚博士主导了这项研究,他说:“在维京人从格林兰岛上销声匿迹的这一过程中,气候的变化扮演着重要的角色。”
'There is a definite cooling trend in the region right before the Norse disappear.'
“在这些股挪威人消失以前,格林兰岛的气温的确变得更加寒冷了。”
Researchers have scant written or archaeological records to work out why Viking settlers abandoned colonies on the western side of the island in the mid-1300s and the eastern side in the early 1400s.
曾经定居在格陵兰岛的维京人在13世纪中叶以及14世纪初陆续开始从到西部和东路陆续前移离开此地,关于究竟是出于何种原因,目前已经很难找到相关的书面资料以及考古证据了。
Conflicts with indigenous Inuit, a search for better hunting grounds, economic stresses and natural swings in climate, perhaps caused by shifts in the sun's output or volcanic eruptions, could all be factors.
或许是与因纽特人发生了冲突,或希望寻找到更好的狩猎的环境,或是出于经济压力和自然气候的波动,也许是因为光照的条件或火山的爆发,这些都是有可能促成维京人从格林兰岛消息的因素。
Scientists have previously suspected that a cooling towards a Little Ice Age from the 1400s gradually shortened growing seasons and added to sea ice that hampered sailing links with Iceland or the Nordic nations.
