Eviskar Island

By Warren Dalzell

"I promise this summer will be one you'll never forget," Morgan Holloway informs his students as they prepare to participate in the excavation of an Old Norse settlement. Morgan, his wife, and their four young colleagues are part of an international team of scientists determined to find out why Vikings and their descendants ventured to a small, nondescript island far off the coast of northeast Greenland. The trip to the island reinforces what an ordeal it must have been, a thousand years ago, for ancient mariners in wooden longboats to make their way through the treacherous waters of the far North Atlantic merely to access a volcanic rock in the middle of nowhere. The students' summer of research abruptly transforms into a harrowing fight for survival as the island reveals her amazing and dangerous secrets. As the survivors attempt to return to civilization, they must also decide which of those secrets must remain hidden, and why.
