It would be possible to sail from Scandinavia to Canada without once crossing more than 250 miles of open sea.
Bill Bryson, in his book "Made in America," highlights an intriguing geographical fact about maritime routes from Scandinavia to Canada. He points out that it’s feasible to make this journey while remaining within close proximity to land, suggesting minimal exposure to open ocean. This emphasizes the unique maritime connections between these regions.
This observation reflects the interconnectedness of landmasses and reinforces the idea that exploration can be achieved through coastal navigation, rather than solely relying on long oceanic voyages.
