Viking settlement 'Hop' is in New Brunswick, claims archaeologist

A long lost Viking settlement known as 'Hop' is located in Canada, a prominent archaeologist has revealed.

Seafaring Scandinavians built a settlement in North America more than 1,000 years ago, 500 years before Christopher Columbus, it is claimed.

Three key things identify this mystical settlement - an abundance of grapes, salmon and canoes made from animal hide - according to legend.

Now, one expert claims the only place that matches this description is the Miramichi-Chaleur bay area in northeastern New Brunswick in Canada.

This would be the third Viking settlement claimed to have been found in North America, although it could be hard to conclusively prove the new theory.
