Viking Scholar to Give Lecture
Like any selfrespecting Viking, Leif Eriksson roamed far and wide. A difficult guy to pin down, the subject of his actual homestead has been in much debate among Viking specialists. Relatively recently, 1960 to be exact, L’Anse aux Meadows, translation Jellyfish Cove, a cozy nook at the northernmost tip of Newfoundland, has been touted as the place Mr. Eriksson hung his helmet.
