Travelling back in time to Norse Greenland

I recently found an interesting travel blog by Glennia Campbell. In one of her exciting adventures she travels to Greenland and writes about her tour of some of the Norse ruins as well as the reconstructions showing us what the Norse structures would've looked like all those years ago.

Glennia has an excellent collection of photographs which really help to visualise what Norse life was like, the sense of community in such an isolated place. It also casts further wonder as to what happened to them? On a lighter note, the reconstructed Norse houses remind me of the Hobbit homes in Lord of the Rings, perhaps this is where J.R.R Tolkien got his inspiration from.

Anyway have a look!
