Vínland diary. Kristján Eldjárn tells the story.
In the summer of 1962, Dr. Kristján Eldjárn kept a diary about his “Vinland Expedition”, an expedition he and others took to Newfoundland to search for relics of ancient Norse settlements, where archaeological excavations were taking place that attracted attention around the world. Kristján’s unique travelogue is published here for the first time, along with numerous photographs from the expedition, maps and other visual material. Þórarinn Eldjárn writes an introduction and Adolf Friðriksson a detailed afterword.
