http://bit.ly/bangsn Richard Bangs kayaks on a Norwegian fjord in his latest special, Adventures with Purpose: Norway: Quest for the Viking Spirit. A thousand years ago Vikings set out from these fjords striking fear across Europe. Yet today this ruggedly beautiful country is the home of the Nobel Peace Center, of explorers and adventure travelers and is one of the most eco-friendly countries on earth.

Bangs quest is to discover how such a progressive nation grew from such a violent past — if modern Norway is a result of its Viking heritage or a reaction to it. This time Richards adventures take him the length of Norway on a Quest for the Viking Spirit.

In 793 AD long ships with dragon-headed bows and square sails crossed the North Sea and landed on Englands shore. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, The ravages of heathen men miserably destroyed Gods church on Lindesfarne. Since that time the name Viking has been synonymous with pirates, violence and terror.
