More than 1,000 years ago, people in Viking Age Scandinavia used animal bones to travel across frozen waterways.
These simple bone skates were attached beneath the feet and could help people glide across the ice—very different from the metal-bladed skates we know today.
Sometimes the simplest Viking technology was surprisingly clever. ❄️
