Reykjanes, Iceland
After the museum, I slowly trekked back towards the city, enjoying the afternoon warmth from the rarely seen sun.

These little fetishes were used to cast a curse on a foe to have him killed. It traveled in the sea to its victim. However, if the target has more mojo than the sender, it can be deflected back to the sender. Sounds like an early version of a tweet storm!

It was hard to capture the whole longboat in a single image...just too big. Imagine sailing this across the North Sea! Tough sailors!

This is s recreation of a boat used to send an expired Viking to sea.

The Viking Museum is starkly beautiful. The claim to fame is a full size replica of a Viking longboat.
The boat was hand built by a master boat builder and sailed, with a crew of nine, from Iceland to Greenland-Nova Scotia-St Lawerence-New York.
It looks like the museum was built around the long boat.
