Ancient Mysteries: Vikings in North America
The exploits of Eric the Red. The legend of Leif Ericson. The struggle for power the bond of a family and the courage to sail beyond a dark and dangerous ocean.  Guided by their hopes the explorers of the North moved their horizon west in an odyssey of ice and uncertainity.  Leaving Norway for Iceland and an inauspicious tundra they named Greenland the Norse in their long boats proved sturdy enough to reach one more distant shore--VINLAND.  At the dawn of the century with the chance to settle a new home the long search seemed over and the future bright.  Yet their stay proved so brief as to almost escape history until a fantastic find just thirty years ago by Helge Ingstad.  Scandinavian sagas tell the tales of Leif the Lucky and the Land of Grapes but are these merely boastful yarns of magical heroes or historical finds?  Five hundred years before Christopher Columbus can we find VIKINGS IN NORTH AMERICA?
