Scenarios about 'vinland'
Vinland refers to the North American lands explored and temporarily settled by Norse Vikings around 1000 CE, most notably at L'Anse aux Meadows in present-day Newfoundland, Canada. These Norse expeditions, led by figures like Leif Erikson and documented in the Icelandic sagas, represent the first known European contact with North America, predating Columbus by nearly 500 years. In alternate history scenarios, Vinland often serves as a point of divergence for timelines exploring sustained Norse colonization of the Americas and its potential impact on indigenous populations and world history.
