Interesting story. Siberia isn't realliy all that far from Greenland going across the poles. But the question is, was circumpolar navigation possible back then?

Apparently so.
What's interesting is that they seem to say that "Inuk" would have migrated EAST from Siberia, rather than across the Bering Strait.
Even if he had come across Alaska, though, there's still the trick of navigating across Labrador into Greenland.
Then again, if the ice sheet were solid all the way across, if could be done with sea travel, either from east or west.

My thing still is....who'd wanna live in Greenland?

My jean map says Levis, and I ain't Jewish. I question this approach.

"who'd wanna live in Greenland?"

Who would want to live in Siberia?

hehe, good point....

But they could've gone SOUTH!

C'mon, that was 30,000 to 40,000 years ago-they didn't know what South was!

Of course they did, that was the direction the sun came from.

but that's not really a true statement, because who says the magnetic pole is the same now as it was then? meaning that geograpical area, greenland to siberia, could have been a tropical paradise instead of a frozen wasteland.

He probably caught an easterly wind and sailed the Northwest Passage....

Perhaps not "tropical paradise", but given possible crustal shifts, what we now call Siberia could well have been in a much more temperate zone. Greenland, too, for that matter.
Consider the corpses of mammals that have been discovered in that area, found to have fed on temperate vegetation.
Interesting stuff.
