Sagas and Shadows - Parks Canada L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site

Immerse yourself in the Viking Age at the only authenticated Norse site in North America. Gather around the skáli (kitchen) in a reconstructed sod building and spend an evening by the fire with the Vikings of Straumfjörð. Toast the heroic deeds of Leif Eriksson and his crew as the Vinland Sagas are retold in the place where it all began. Step back in time and imagine what life was like for the Norse living at L'Anse aux Meadows 1,000 years ago.
