Description:
Immediately after the Viking ship Islendingur arrives in Greenland on 15th July, [2000] a three-metre tall statue of Leif Eriksson is to be unveiled, sited on a ridge in Qassiarsuk with a view of the ocean. It will stand here as a lasting reminder of the celebrations and Leif Eriksson's achievement. One of the contributors is the Leif Eriksson International Foundation in Seattle and the statue is a copy of similar statues in Tromsø and Seattle.
