THE TED Lady Discovers Viking Settlement in Canada.

++Dr. Sarah Parcak using satellite images discovered "hot spots" where she suspected Viking sites. When she moved her work to examine North America located a site at Point Rosee, which yielded bog iron and trenches that appeared to be from the Norse discovery of North America. 

++You'll remember her for the TED lecture where she demonstrated her discovery of multiple pyramids that had been covered by the desert in Egypt. Her talk netted her a $1,000,000 prize.

++Her findings will stream online by NOVA on Monday at 3:30ET, or next Wednesday on PBS at 9PM.
