Today, RÚV English Radio is at Eiríksstaðir in West Iceland.

The Viking Age farm of Eiríksstaðir was the stage for the beginning of contact between Europe and North America. Though the original farm is now in ruins, a historically accurate replica (https://www.eiriksstadir.is/) brings the average Icelandic Viking Age farm, and some of Iceland's most important Sagas, to life.

Darren met Bjarnheiður, at Eiríksstaðir.
