The world’s largest seaworthy Viking ship is currently moored in the old harbour in downtown Reykjavík. The ship, Draken Harald Hårfagre, which arrived in Reykjavík on Monday night, was originally supposed to make only a three day stop before heading back to sea, continuing its voyage across the Atlantic from Norway to North America. However, since the winds have not been favourable, the crew was forced to extend its stay, postponing the departure until Monday.

This is great news for anyone curious about what it was like to sail the high seas in Viking times, because the ship will be open to the public on Sunday between 14:00 and 16:00.
From Reykjavík the ship will sail on to Qaqortoq in Greenland, located at the mouth of the ancient Eiríksfjörður fjord, which was the centre of the Viking settlement in Medieval Greenland.
