Sweden - Viking Stone Ship
Gettlinge burial site/ Gettlinge gravfält Öland
Viking stone ship at Gettlinge, in the southwest portion of the island of Öland, Sweden.
The stone ship was an early burial custom in Scandinavia. The grave or cremation burial was surrounded by stones in the shape of a ship. The ships vary in size and were erected from about 1000 BC to 1000 AD. The standing stones of the Viking ship are granite, which moraine materials were pushed here from the mainland by ice age glaciers.
In the background a typical Öland wooden post mill from later centuries and further away by the beach a modern wind turbine.
