At first glance, not much! But as we've discovered through the NorseMap and iVikings projects, Vikings seem to appear in the most unexpected places.

History often turns up in unexpected places: a stamp, a souvenir, a photograph, or a chance find linked to Viking heritage.At NorseMap, we love seeing the personal discoveries that connect people with the Viking past.

We are very happy to share this digital storytelling piece 'The Elder Days' by Michelle Quirke (@mountain_mermaids_), which recently won the prestigious International Award at the 2nd International Digital Storytelling Festival held in Zakynthos, Greece, October 2–4.

She cites Norse mythology (and her UCC studies) as an influence, particularly the story of the giantess Gjálp, who tries to drown Thor on his crossing of the River Vimur. Congratulations to Michelle, and may Norse myth continue to inspire you!

We're starting the week with a small retrospective: the NorseMap team was lucky enough to be invited to the Dublin Festival of History International Viking Event last Friday and we had a blast! ⚔

Then of course we couldn't miss the opportunity to take some NorseMap pictures, so here you can enjoy a small taste of Viking related items in Dublin. 🤳

That’s the kind of afterlife of the Viking past we’re mapping at NorseMap.

If you spot Leif in the wild – a statue, monument, street name, business or anything else – take a pic and add it to iViking:

Happy #Thorsday!

Here are a collection of recent Thor submissions on iViking...

We particularly love the Thor battle soap: because being a Viking doesn't have to mean smelling bad!

We don't bury our iViking hoard away to be found centuries later! Instead, it's all available to scroll through both in app and on our website norsemap.eu.
You could even go to the map section and look through Viking heritage location by location and they may surprise you!🗺

For example, did you know that not only there is such a thing as Viking kebab, but that it comes in a vending machine?? Ask the Icelanders, they'll know 🫔
