"In Northern Mists: Arctic Exploration in Early Times (Volume 2 of 2)" by Fridtjof Nansen is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the narratives of early Arctic exploration, specifically focusing on the legendary Norse voyages to lands such as Vinland, Greenland, and other territories in North America. This volume covers a variety of topics related to the Norse interaction with the indigenous Skrælings, place names significant to their journeys, and various expeditions that highlight the Norse's maritime pursuits." "At the start of this volume, the narrative continues exploring the concept of "Wineland," relating it to classical legends of islands and the discoveries made by the Norse. Nansen presents evidence from Icelandic geography and medieval texts, discussing interpretations of "Wineland" as it might connect to Africa, and dives into encounters between Norse explorers and the Skrælings. The text combines historical traces with legends, suggesting a complex interplay between myth and reality in the Norse understanding of the New World's geography and its inhabitants. Tied to these accounts are broader themes of exploration, identity, and the blending of folklore with historical narrative that Nansen's examination elucidates."
