Ancient Viking longships once plied the Irminger Sea, the historic expanse between Iceland and the southeastern coast of Greenland. Most famously, Erik the Red sailed westward into these waters after his exile from Iceland. Thereafter, the Irminger became an important seaway between the Vikings’ two westernmost territories. Today, the Irminger Sea is known to oceanographers as the “Freshwater Superhighway,” a critical passage for cold, fresh Arctic water to make its way into the North Atlantic.
