Just read in German a summary on a published paper. The author(s?) investigate(s) whether it was possible for the Vikings to use the polarised light of the sky for navigation, this with the help of the "sun stone" (Sonnenstein). Those of you who are interested in this may read the original paper in English: Proceedings of the Royal Society London, Series A. Online publication of 7th February 2007 (doi: 10.1098/rspa.2007.1811).
