Geography in Luck of the North

This particular story was reprinted in Finland quite resently in a hard 
cover collection with new translation (using Alaska instead of Greenland). 
Collection had an expert preface by Finnish adventurer, mountain climber 
Veikka Gustafsson, where he mentioned that currents can drift icebergs 
pretty far from their "place of birth".

Vikings indeed went amazingly far, in each direction, west, nort, south, 
east. They sailed to northen part of America and visited quite certainly in 
Alaska too. I bet Barks found out these theories and facts out of National 
Geography.
