Viggen Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 A group of modern-day Vikings is currently sailing the Black Sea en route to the Caspian via the Rioni and Kura rivers in the Caucasus. They are retracing part of a trip that Scandinavian explorers might have made nearly 1,000 years ago. In 1036, the Viking chief Ingvar den Vittfarne, or "Ingvar the Far-Traveled," is believed to have led an expedition from Sweden to the far-flung Caspian Sea. Almost a millennium later, a crew of nine modern-day Vikings -- sailing in a replica Viking ship -- is retracing part of what was believed to have been the original route. full article at Baku Today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
