Je ne recommanderais pas de visiter le site en raison du trajet - la route est remarquablement longue.
Vous pouvez toutefois porter un casque de viking si c'est votre truc...
We're bused here from St. Anthony.
"One thousand years ago, an expedition from Greenland landed here and built a substantial camp."
Anne Stine (1918-97) was a Norwegian archaeologist, who discovered the remains of a Norse settlement here, with her husband Helge Ingstad (1899-2001).
We watched a short informative film at the center, then follow a staff on the short path to the site. The sod huts are replica tho.
There are some guided tours and our guide was kind enough to brave the elements with us (we came in early June) to show us the actual site of the settlement as well as guide us to the recreation of the settlement. The coolest part about this historic site is exploring the rebuilt viking settlement, which has many buildings which one can enter. The staff (dressed like the ancient Norse) provided commentary and demonstrations of the Norse lifestyle (and yes, you can dress like a viking).
I have visited Colonial Williamsburg and imagine that this Park would provide a similar view on Viking (Nordic) life in North America.
