L'Anse aux Meadows

As the site of the first European settlement in North America more than 1000 years ago, L'Anse aux Meadows is among the world's most significant archaeological properties. Tuesday August 28th we visited this site.

The outlines of Norse encampments can still be seen at this UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are replicated sod huts in order to let one experience what it would have been like inside the buildings. Walking trails give dramatic views of the ocean. Jannich found it interesting to chat with a Viking re-enactor who helped to re-create life as it was in this harsh environment.
