Where Was Vinland? The Norse Name for North America

Vinland wasn't a single spot but the Norse term for the North American coast they explored circa 1000 CE. The only confirmed site is L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland, Canada (UNESCO World Heritage). Sagas describe areas further south ("Hop") with grapes, timber, and mild winters—possibly New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, or New England. Exact extent remains debated.
