Kingittorsuaq Runestone, Norse runestone from Greenland at National Museum of Denmark, Denmark.
The Kingittorsuaq Runestone displays runic inscriptions carved on a stone found among three cairns arranged in a triangle formation on a mountain.
The stone, discovered in 1824 on Kingittorsuaq Island in northwestern Greenland, contains inscriptions mentioning Erlingr Sighvatrs, Bjarni Thordar, and Eindridi Oddrs.
The inscribed text references construction activities occurring before Rogation Day, indicating Norse settlers' adherence to religious calendar markers in medieval Greenland.
Visitors can examine this medieval artifact at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen, which maintains regular opening hours throughout the year.
Six runes following the main inscription remain undeciphered, presenting an ongoing mystery for researchers studying Norse communication methods.
