| | The Viking Saga of Aland |
 | | Enthusiastic Ålanders erected a Viking long house, a wooden chain-saw statue of Hlödver, and a runestone in his memory. |
 | | Villagers, and a scattering of Viking reenactors from other countries, dressed in authentic costumes, and practiced crafts such as pottery-making, iron forging, processing of wool and sealskins, butter churning and weaving.Wool dying with natural dyes demonstrated a process identical to the Vikingsâ method. |
 | | The beautifully curving sides of the boat, the high stem and stern and the square red sail replicate actual Viking boats that have been recovered or are pictured in Viking age carvings. |
