Landhugg
What would you call a typical viking attack, where the ships arrive at the break of dawn without warning? In Norwegian litterature this is described as a "land-hugg" (Land-chop), with reference to the sudden strike of an axe. Creative suggestions are welcome :-)

beach strike/beach raid
Strandhugg er det den termen som brukes mest om raske angrep fra vikingskip, der de seilte reitt opp på stranden og stjal mat og husdyr for å få mat til videre ferd.

gjøre landnåm
Hei Hallvard, jeg sjekket litt på internett og da fant jeg tilfeldigvis en Viking-quiz som kanskje kan være til hjelp. Se lenken nedenfor (spørsmål 13 - Hva kalte vikingene det å erobre nytt land? Svaret finner du litt lenger nede på siden).
