It is a replica of Eirik the Red´s homestead. He was a famous explorer, founded the Icelandic colony in Greenland and gave Greenland its name. The first advertising campaign in history!

His son Leif-the-Lucky was born there in the valley Haukadalur. He is the first European to set foot in America. Now the excavated and reconstructed farm is a live viking museum.
