For nearly 500 years, Norse settlers built a thriving Viking civilization on the edge of Greenland. Then, around the year 1500, up to 6,000 people vanished, leaving behind empty homesteads and an unsolved historical cold case.

In this documentary, an international team of archaeologists, pathologists, and climate scientists analyze ancient permafrost graves, 600-year-old ice cores, and fossil remains to uncover the truth. Did a sudden mini ice age, overgrazing, and strict church rule trigger the ultimate downfall of the Greenland Vikings?
