This Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History site was created around an exhibit commemorating the 1000th anniversary of the Viking landing in the New World. Besides a cool Flash-generated introduction, the site contains extensive documentation on the contents of the exhibit, as well as: a Virtual Viking Voyage - a multimedia feature including 3D animations of ship building, runes and sagas; video interviews with leading experts in the field; and detailed histories of Viking settlements and journeys from Scandinavia to Newfoundland. Appropriate for grades 7-12.
