DNA analyses reveal that walrus ivory from Greenland was brought to Europe and probably as far as the Middle East via extensive trade networks.
Researchers conducted DNA analyses, which show that the Vikings covered a greater distance than previously believed in their search for walruses.
The study also demonstrates that Vikings probably had more dealings with indigenous Arctic populations than previously assumed, including the Thule and Dorset cultures.
