More on Full Circle

A few days ago I wrote about the Newfoundland and Labrador Museum exhibition commemorating the events surrounding the Viking landfall in L’Anse aux Meadows – Full Circle: First Contact.

Then National Geographic News posted an interesting article called “Sagas” Portray Iceland’s Viking History. I enjoyed learning more about Iceland and what importance it places on its sagas, especially after just revisiting my own older posting A Europe of Tales.

But what particularly struck me as a bit of synchronicity is to note among the numerous great links at the bottom of the article, one to Vikings: The North Atlantic Saga, a Smithsonian website of the same subject, and it is an excellent one, well worth visiting.
