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!

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 🫔

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!🗺

Far from being constrained to museums, their popularity means they are everywhere and representations range from replicas, to souvenirs, to artwork, to bottle stoppers and so much more!

Look at this wonderful image of the Codex Regius manuscript (GKS 2365 4º) as displayed in the Edda building in Reykjavík.

It was submitted by contributor DocRife today via the iViking app. Stunning!

Short piece on the co-option of Norse symbols and fashion brands by the extreme right in Germany.

How do you feel about neo-Nazis using runes and other Norse symbols to signal their political affiliation?

Sometimes representations of Vikings are one-of-a-kind, like this bespoke 'shieldmaiden' doll, made by Marzia from Corinaldo in Italy. It comes complete with detachable shield and helmet. We absolutely love it!

Coins make up only a small part of the hoard, but they range from Arabic dirhams to Anglo-Saxon pennies, showing how far reaching Viking hoarding tendencies were.

The way the hoard was found - a homeowner preparing ground for a new terrace - is a far cry from Adam Oehlenschläger's beloved peasant farmer unearthing the golden horns of Gallehus while plowing the fields, but it certainly caused quite a stir.

After a hot Norse summer of incredible finds, we are transitioning into hoard autumn 🍁

The beginning of September brought the news of the 18,5kg Rebild hoard, the largest silver hoard ever found in Denmark!
