Despite the well-known myth that the Vikings were unable to conquer North America, what if their closest-ever outpost was located in Canada? In the L’Anse aux Meadows, which lies at the very edge of Newfoundland, Canada, an outpost from the eleventh century was found.
Unexpectedly, the outpost’s artifacts and building ruins proved that it was the first-ever European home in North America.
Despite showing traces of long-term use, the structures were probably abandoned because of Indigenous people.
