L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site——UNESCO

The L'Anseaux Meadows National Historical Site is located at the northernmost point of Newfoundland Island in the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It was the first European settlement in North America nearly a thousand years ago, and was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1978.

Sitting around the warm campfire with friends and family, quietly looking back thousands of years ago under the same starry sky, those resilient men and women sailed towards the Forbidden Sea and searched for the ancient legend of a new continent. This is also the place where iron tools were first used in the New World, and houses built with wood and soil similar to those found in Norway are preserved. Eight ruins of buildings and over a hundred types of Viking handicrafts have been excavated here, mostly made of wood and also made of materials such as metal, stone, bronze, and bones. In the ruins of the building, the excavated artifacts are very similar to the styles of Iceland and Greenland.
