Archaeologist at Lund University in Sweden has been sailing in the footsteps of Vikings for three years .

He can now show that the Vikings sailed farther away from Scandinavia and took routes farther from land than was previously believed to have been possible.

He has found evidence of a decentralized network of ports, located on islands and peninsulas, which probably played a central role in trade.

Jarret 's adventures have highlighted how important relationships must have been during the Viking voyages.

"You need a boat that can withstand all kinds of weather conditions. But if you don't have a crew that can cooperate and put up with each other for long periods, these journeys would probably be impossible," Jarrett concludes.
