America Unearthed (2012)

Episode Overview

In 1000 AD, Vikings reached North America, setting up a camp in Newfoundland at L'Anse aux Meadows. However, could they have ventured further south into present-day United States to create a lasting settlement known as Vinland, a place mentioned in legends but yet to be located? Forensic Geologist Scott Wolter believes it’s possible. He is now pursuing groundbreaking evidence and geological hints that might support this theory, including a message found near a restricted island off the coast of Massachusetts, which could have been left by the renowned Viking explorer Leif Ericson.
