Newfoundland. Most historians now believe that the Vikings were the first Europeans to land in North America. Nordic literature refers to the settling of Vinland, which is believed to be the place now known as Anse au Meadow on the Canadian coast of Newfoundland. For years, historians were misled by the term "Vinland", as they assumed that the word "vin" referred to grapes; however, historical detective work revealed that it meant "meadow", many of which are found in this part of Newfoundland. The ruins of structures identified as Nordic have been found in the area, adding further support to the theory that the Vikings settled here around 1000 AD.

| Everyone knows that the Italian city of Pompeii was buried under the ash of Mt. Vesuvius when the volcano erupted in 79 AD. But do you know the name of the town next door that was also buried? | A Ruinous Quiz (bullymom) |
Herculaneum. The seaside town of Herculaneum suffered less damage than its neighbor, which may account for its lack of recognition. Historians believe that the eruption of Vesuvius, which was the first to be recorded in detail, destroyed Herculaneum by means of a pyroclastic flow. A pyroclastic flow is defined by the US Geological Survey as "a ground-hugging avalanche of hot ash, pumice, rock fragments, and volcanic gas that rushes down the side of a volcano as fast as 100 km/hour or more. The temperature within a pyroclastic flow may be greater than 500° C, sufficient to burn and carbonize wood. Once deposited, the ash, pumice, and rock fragments may deform (flatten) and weld together because of the intense heat and the weight of the overlying material".
