Their vision for the area was cattle farming and cultivated fields. They spread across the land, working every available flat area, sowing grass and crops in an attempt to establish a sustainable cattle farm and ecological agriculture. However, after 400–500 years, they had to give up—bone analysis shows that over time, their diet became increasingly dependent on marine animals like seals.
There was a farm in Qooqqut with livestock, and you can still see the various ruins today—though they are likely among the least well-preserved in all of Greenland.
The Norse settlers either migrated or died out from the Western Settlement in the early 1300s.
