Interesting

I'll have to read this in more detail later since I'm at work now, but I came across a site that has an interesting argument that "Vinland" could have been the Cowichan Valley. Yup, Vikings in Duncan.

Background

Navigating the Northwest Passage

Blonde Eskimoes

Viking Petroglyphs, Sails and Ships

Ships for Rooves and Cooper Plated Monsters

Weaving, Wool, and the Cowichan Sweater

Cairns, Bears, Petroglyphs, Sagas and Wine.

As I said, I haven't read it in detail, but it appears well researched, with the research well documented, and incorporates several recent Viking discoveries in the far north that I was heretofore unaware of. Fascinating stuff.
