Columbus didn't "discover" America--the Vikings did. "Nearly 500 years before the birth of Christopher Columbus, a band of European sailors left their homeland behind in search of a new world. After traversing unfamiliar waters, the Norsemen aboard the wooden ship spied a new land, dropped anchor and went ashore. Half a millennium before Columbus “discovered” America, those Viking feet may have been the first European ones to ever have touched North American soil.

Leagues Under The Sea

In Norwegian sea folklore, the Kraken is an enormous sea monster which would sometimes attack ships and feed upon the sailors. It was supposed to be capable of dragging down the largest ships and when submerging could suck down a vessel by the whirlpool it created. It is part octopus and part crab, although others refer to it as a cuttlefish or giant squid. The eponymous species may have been the source of such legends.
