Answer to Question 1

Some of the earliest Norse settlements were established by explorers from Greenland in the L'Anse aux Meadows (Fr. Jellyfish Cove) on the northern tip of Newfoundland.

Answer to Question 2

Yes, because of global warming and the reduction of Arctic ice sheets, the Northwest Passage, now only open to reinforced ice-breaking vehicles, could be open to conventional craft for a few weeks per year in the summer.
