    Viking History Comes Alive

    I enjoyed this reconstruction of 1000 year old ruins, which easily let me imagine what life was like so long ago. Bring along a copy of the Vinland Saga, which describes the Viking settlement of Greenland and points west, and read it while you're here...More

    The First European Settlement in Greenland

    The small, sleepy sheep farming community of Qassiarsuk across the Tunulliarfik Fjord from Narsarsuaq is easily reached by boat and takes no more than 10-15 minutes. Here you will discover some of the most interesting and important Norse remains in Greenland. Qassiarsuk is close to...More
