An American archeologist died after a Viking ship replica capsized off the coast of Norway during a journey from the Faroe Islands. Five crew members were rescued, but one woman drowned. The victim was identified as 29-year-old Karla Dana from Florida. Authorities believe a strong wave caused the ship to capsize. The U.S. State Department confirmed the death of a U.S. citizen and extended condolences to the family. Rescue efforts were hampered by challenging weather conditions and darkness. Dana was described as an archeologist and ethnographic field researcher who had expressed excitement about the journey on social media.
