Description
In 1997, journalist and history buff W. Hodding Carter, along with a ragtag crew of eleven amateur-but-intrepid sailors, faithfully retraced the Vikings' discovery of North America. Setting sail from Greenland aboard a meticulously hand-crafted, full-sized replica of the traditional Viking "knarr", the crew chartered a course from Greenland through the Artic Circle before heading to Newfoundland.
In this beautiful volume, photographer Russell Kaye captures each phase of Carter's fantastic voyage alongside charming, evocative text by the fearless leader himself. Kaye's artistry takes it all in: the incredible engineering marvels of their ship, the Snorri, in a Maine boatyard; the visually stimulating yet treacherous icebergs; the sublime Arctic landscapes; and the team's triumphant, hard-won arrival at L'anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland in the fall of 1998.
AN ILLUSTRATED VIKING VOYAGE exquisitely captures all the bold colours, punishing conditions and incredible sights of this truly historic odyssey.
