Episode 895 - VÍNLANDSSETRIÐ LEIFSBÚÐ / LEIFUR EIRÍKSSON CENTRE, BÚÐARDALUR

Today on RÚV English Radio - beating Christopher Columbus to North America by half a millennium...

Buðardalur's Leifur Eiríksson Centre (https://vinlandssetur.is/en/front-page/) tells the stories of voyages of discovery made by Eiríkur the Red and Leifur Eiríksson in Greenland, Canada and the United States.

You'll also hear about Guðríður Þorbjarnardóttir, Leifur's sister-in-law, an extraordinary explorer who is finally now starting to see the recognition she also deserves.

Darren's guide at the centre is Anna Sigríður Grétarsdóttir.
