All around we could observe traces from World War II as trenches and tunnels on the peninsula Neset in Lindesnes, Norway’s southernmost point. The fortification was built just beside Lindesnes Lighthouse. At that time the ligthhouse was taken over by the Germans.

Since the Middle Ages, Lindesnes, or “headland”, as the spot was called, has been one of the most important naviagation landmarks for boats for sailing between the North and Baltic Seas.

Archaeologists in Estonia have done a sensational discovery: a mass grave comprising two Viking ship burials. The history about the Viking has to be rewritten. The Salme ships are two pre-Viking era clinker-built ships that were discovered in 2008 near Salme village in Saaremaa, Estonia. Both ships were used for ship burial around AD 750 and contained the remains of more than 40 warriors killed in battle, as well as numerous weapons and other artifacts.
