Ikigait
class=notpageimage|
Location within GreenlandIkigait is a former community in Greenland about 3 kilometers west of Narsarmijit. It was the site of Herjólfr Bárðarson's farm Herjolfsnes ("Herjolf's Point"[1]), one of the easternmost of the Norse settlements during their colonization of Greenland.[2]
The location was established around 1885, when a few artifacts were discovered and returned to Denmark. In 1921, an excavation was led by Danish historian and archaeologist Poul Nørlund (1888-1951), which found the church graveyard.[3][4]
