A Viking ship has been discovered buried underground near the Norwegian capital of Oslo.
It is believed to be a burial site and was found using geo-radar, a method which uses ground-penetrating rays to create a 3D image of what lies underneath.
Archaeologists say they have no immediate plan to unearth it, but they will be using non-invasive methods to find out more about it.

Vestfold county spokesman Terje Gansum said it was likely used as a 'shi burial'.
He said: 'The GPR data clearly show the shape of a ship, and we can see weak traces of a circular depression around the vessel.
'This could point to the existence of a mound that was later removed.'
This ancient tradition from the Scandinavian culture involved ships being used as a final resting place for the dead.
There are only seven ship burials dating from the Viking Age (800-1050) in Europe, including three located in Vestfold county.
This discovery would be key in understanding the culture's rituals and was found in the Borre burial mounds, considered to be one of Norway's most important cultural heritage sites
Mr Gansum said Viking-era ships are always at least 15 meters (50 feet) long.
The find is next to a museum promoting the local area's Viking heritage and covers the Viking era, which spanned from approximately 793 to 1066.
It ended around the same time the civilisation failed to invade the UK prior to the battle of Hastings.

Following the demise of English King Edward the Confessor, who had no children or apparent heir, saw several claimants fight for the throne.
These included the eventual victor, William the Conqueror from Normandy and Anglo-Saxon King Harold Godwinson.
Harold II successfully beat off the invasion by Harald Hardrada of Norway, defeating him at Stamford Bridge near York in September 1066.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
