Destinations » Atlantic Seaboard » Eastern Canada » L'Anse Aux Meadows
Located at the tip of the Great Northern Peninsula of the island of Newfoundland, L'Anse aux Meadows is an 11th-century Viking settlement, the oldest known European settlement in the New World. The excavated remains of these wood-frame peat-turf buildings were discovered in 1960 by Helge and Anne Stine Ingstad, and L'Anse aux Meadows was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978. The fearless sailors who navigated from Scandinavia via Greenland were led by Leif Eriksson, son of Eric the Red. Nearby the archaeological site, visitors can also explore the hiking trails that lead to intriguing bays and lakes.
