The Vikings were explorers by heart and sailed far into Russia, down to the Mediterranean and then west. In the year 871 they settled Iceland, Greenland in the year 993 and in the year 1.000 Leif the Lucky discovered Vinland, in North America. It has been a matter of disputes ever since where Vinland was. In 1960 the main camp for exploration was discovered on the Northern tip of Newfoundland, fully matching descriptions in the Icelandic sagas. That discovery confirms at least some extent of accuracy in the sagas, as well as being an important waypoint for further discovery of Viking remains in America. These are well known facts and statues of Leif can be found all over America honouring his discovery. Lesser known is the fate of his brother who got killed in a dispute with natives, as well as the whereabouts of Hóp, the actual Vinland colony. The interest for the old Viking culture has grown tremendously in the recent decade. The interest has so far fueled the creation of fiction series like Vikings and the upcoming Ragnarok.
