Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Two Summers in Greenland: An Artist's Adventures Among Ice and Islands, in Fjords and Mountains
We learn from the Icelandic sagas of a certain Gunbjorn who, driven westward by storms, had there seen an unknown land. A few years later, another Icelander, Erik the Red, started on an expe dition in search of this new land, which he found and explored. He stayed two winters in it, and gave many places names. The third summer he returned to Iceland, and called the new country Greenland.
