Nothing about archaeology here, but it might amuse those with an
interest in Greenland. This is a curious inverse counterpart to the
Ithaca story I posted ten days ago. What used to be a peninsula has
become an island.

Extract:
"Mr. Schmitt, a 60-year-old explorer from Berkeley, Calif., had just
landed on a newly revealed island 400 miles north of the Arctic Circle
in eastern Greenland. It was a moment of triumph: he had discovered the
island on an ocean voyage in September 2005.
IMPOSSIBLE, everyone knows the vikings discovered everything first.
If they had done a little bit more digging like my lost great uncle
sivnogredr beo johanssornd did they certainly would have discovered the
various and sundry stones the vikings left to mark their discovery.
