Vínland which was discovered by Leifur the Lucky in the year 1000  is placed where Canada and North America is now. Because of all the grapes and grapevine they named the country Vínland (which means Wine-Land).

Weather: Weather in Vínland was very nice. The average temperature was about 2-3 degrees higher than people are used to nowadays.  Despite this weather-conditions there was a lot of ice bergs and therefore the sea was very cold.

Nature: Leifur and his companions found on Vínland a few plants, including natural wheat-fields, maple so big that you could live in it, a lot of grapevine and two kinds of wild grapes.
