The Thule people have been ruled out as one of the contenders for who scared the Vikings out of Newfoundland. No one knows who the Skraelings were, with Innu, Beothuk and others as contenders, but it turns out the Thule, earlier suspects, would have arrived too late.

I've been to L'Anse aux Meadows in person, and though it's an 800km trek up the West coast from Port aux Basques, it is a stunningly beautiful coastline and the ambience at the reconstruction, and especially at the archaeological site, is almost indescribable.
