Lack of food was an important resource that caused the Viking settlement of Greenland to fail. The Norse preferred livestock and did not adapt to the thin soil and short growing period of Greenland. They also did not eat fish or the ring seals that were plentiful leading to them having to abandon the island as it began to cool and iceberg cut them off from their home.
