At the tip of the Great Northern Peninsula of the island of Newfoundland, the remains of an 11th-century Viking settlement are evidence of the first European presence in North America.
The excavated remains of wood-framed peat-turf buildings are similar to those found in Norse Greenland and Iceland.
