The Norstead Village is fairly close to how it would have looked from about 790-1006 AD with costumed interpreters who tell stories of the Viking era. Some of the other old huts around the Viking village are a blacksmith's workshop, chieftain's hall and a boat shed where replicas of Viking ships are kept.

In the background around the Norstead village, the scenery is beautiful as the harbour can fill up with pack ice. The pack ice can jam up the waterways which makes it impossible for boats to enter or leave the harbour along the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland. By the end of July, most of these massive ice chunks have melted and boats can leave or return once again.
