| Arches at the L'Anse Aux Meadows site |
We had to drive across of all Newfoundland to reach L'Anse Aux Meadows. It is at the northwest corner of the province - approximately 10-12 hours driving from St. John's at the southeast corner of the province. |
| Greenland to Vinland is not too far! |
|  | It really is amazing that Vikings landed here 1000 years ago, but when you view the map from Greenland's point of view, Vinland was not that far from Greenland. |
If you are planning a trip to Newfoundland, see my province page for general help in planning a Newfoundland vacation. |

Great info on your visit to the Viking settlement. Too bad that you ran out of time, there is a lot of driving to do in Newfoundland! | RobDavis Wed Oct 27, 2004 17:33 UTC
I've often wondered if those Vikings realized that they had discovered a new continent, or whether they just thought it was just another place to camp for a while. |
