This episode explores how Vikings engineered stone hearths and airflow systems to keep their longhouses warm through subzero Scandinavian winters. It breaks down how fire pits, side vents, and smoke holes worked together to circulate heat without filling the hall with smoke. The film shows how stone, turf, and timber were arranged to store warmth and release it slowly through the night. It also reveals how families positioned beds, tools, and livestock around the hearth to maximize heat in the harshest months. The story highlights Viking thermal engineering as a survival tool just as important as weapons or ships.
