Recent findings, highlighted in The Curse of Oak Island series, suggest that Norse explorers may have traveled as far south as Oak Island, Nova Scotia.

This significantly expands the known boundaries of Viking exploration in North America.

This theory stems from discoveries made at L’Anse aux Meadows, the only confirmed Viking settlement on the continent.

In addition, artifacts and ecological clues are presented in the History Channel series.

In a recent clip from the series, Marty Lagina follows the trail to Newfoundland, which is the only proven site in North America.

The long-running History Channel series is on Season 12, and the team continues to trace the Viking link to the island.
