Lobster Cove we visit the Lighthouse and the fascinating marine displays. View Western Brook Pond's
glacier carved gorges on the

North America. Park interpreters and the Visitor Centre
highlight the first European settlement in the western hemisphere
- preceding Columbus by 500 years. Archaeologists
have uncovered artifacts that indicate a Norse settlement
was in this area about 1000 AD. It is believed that Leif the Lucky settled in this Viking Village in 1000
AD. UNESCO has declared the site a World Heritage Site. We
tour the sod-house displays on the Norse way of life. Next
we visit St. Anthony, home of the Grenfell Mission where we

any other, the "City of Legends" is cradled in a
