The frozen North recalls the time of the Vikings. Around 1000 A.D., this rude race sailed a great many seas, pillaged the coasts of Europe and even penetrated into Spain and Italy. One of the best known reconstructed Viking camps is Trelleborg, a circular fortress with 31 wooden "long-houses, surrounded by a system of ditches and ramparts. Awaiting their sea voyages, more than 1500 soldiers (some with their spouses and children) were stationed here. It is said that the Vikings discovered North America during their voyages in the year 801.
