Norse Route Claim Sparks Ontario Trapper Sightings
Tarney Magnussen, a 49 year old trapper from Ontario’s Norse route legends, believes he has found signs of Norse presence along Lake Winnipeg and the Nelson River. He describes a large stone beacon east of Lake Winnipeg, with runic possibilities, and compares it to the Kensington Minnesota rune stone linked to Norse exploration in antiquity.
