The Vikings did not live without fire. What they lacked was an enclosed fireplace with a chimney. Heat came from an open central hearth, with smoke escaping through a hole in the roof. This video explores how Vikings survived the Scandinavian winter: the longhouse with its oblong hearth, insulation of moss and heather, livestock kept inside to help warm the space, layers of wool and animal skins, and food preparation before the cold set in. A calm history of adaptation and survival in the North.
