Viking navigators relied on the North Star, also known as Polestar or Polaris, to chart the direction of their routes at night.

The North Star is the best way humans have of finding the location of the north celestial pole. Vikings could use it to measure the distance in degrees from north to south, which is called latitude. They did this by measuring how high the North Star was from the horizon and comparing it to the height of the North Star when they were home.
