L'Anse aux Meadows

L'Anse aux Meadows is the site of the earliest known European
settlement in North America. Ruins have been dated back to 1000 AD.
Several sod houses have been recreated here. They have all been
built in an authentic manner.
This photo shows the outside of the main, largest, one.

Uh oh! This Viking doesn't look very pleased at having his home
invaded by a bunch of tourists.
