They oriented themselves by latitude, by measuring the sun's altitude at noon, and the solar compass fragment found in 1948 in Uunartoq, Greenland, may have been one of their instruments: a graduated wooden disc where the shadow of the gnomon, compared to a drawn curve, indicated the deviation from their heading. The debate over its exact function remains open. What is certain is that no Vegvísir guided them: the symbol postdates their voyages by several centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e📖 \u003cstrong\u003eTo go further:\u003c\/strong\u003e Discover \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/symboles-vikings-signification-guide-complet\" title=\"The 17 Viking Symbols and Their Deep Meaning\"\u003eour guide to Viking symbols\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e♦ Complete Your Viking Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover other pieces you might like:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sweat-capuche-viking-corbeau-odin-vegvisir\" title=\"Odin's Raven and Vegvísir Viking Hoodie\"\u003eOdin's Raven and Vegvísir Viking Hoodie\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sweat-capuche-viking-entrelacs-or-turquoise\" title=\"Gold and Turquoise Interlacing Viking Hoodie\"\u003eGold and Turquoise Interlacing Viking Hoodie\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sweat-capuche-viking-vegvisir-blanc\" title=\"Black and White Vegvísir Viking Hoodie\"\u003eBlack and White Vegvísir Viking Hoodie\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Le Comptoir Viking","offers":[{"title":"XL","offer_id":57896588345726,"sku":"14:175#DH8Y2J231212V;5:4183#XL","price":54.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":57896588378494,"sku":"14:175#DH8Y2J231212V;5:4182#L","price":54.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":57896588411262,"sku":"14:175#DH8Y2J231212V;5:100014065#M","price":54.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"S","offer_id":57896588444030,"sku":"14:175#DH8Y2J231212V;5:361385#S","price":54.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4XL","offer_id":57896588476798,"sku":"14:175#DH8Y2J231212V;5:200005259#4XL","price":54.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":57896588509566,"sku":"14:175#DH8Y2J231212V;5:200000991#3XL","price":54.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":57896588542334,"sku":"14:175#DH8Y2J231212V;5:200000990#2XL","price":54.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXS","offer_id":57896588575102,"sku":"14:175#DH8Y2J231212V;5:361386#2XS","price":54.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0569\/8430\/files\/sweat-capuche-viking-vegvisir-dore-turquoise-ambiance.jpg?v=1787420646","url":"https:\/\/www.le-comptoir-viking.fr\/en\/products\/sweat-capuche-viking-vegvisir-dore-turquoise","provider":"Le Comptoir Viking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
