Leif's place was south of Fogo Island at a tidal lake at the head of Carmanville Arm.

Leif's brother Thorvald explored in the dinghy to the west of there and found many islands.

The following spring Leif's brother then went East (past Fogo) and then north to go around a headland (the tip of the Great Peninsula). Near the headland he damaged his keel. He went ashore (L'Anse aux Meadows) and repaired his keel. After making a new keel and repairing his ship, Thorvald erected the old keel at Quirpon Island.

Thorvald was buried at Krossnes (Bide Arm near Englee).

Later Karlsefni and Gudrid led an expedition of three ships. They went past Helluland, and Markland and stopped at Kjalarnes.

They sailed upwind past some beaches then the shore became indented with inlets.

They continued to an islend at the mouth of a fjord, Sops arm at the mouth of the Maine River. They stayed there the rest of the summer and a winter. They named the place Straumfjord

A Greenlander left the group taking one of the three ships.

Karlsefni led the group to a tidal lake south of Straumfjord

(Saltwater Pond)

They traded with natives and stayed through a winter.

The following autumn they fought with natives and decided to return to Straumfjord.

Karlsefni went to search for the Greenlander. He went north to Kjalarnes and then bore west with the land on his port until he came to a river flowing east to west. That could have been any river on the western side of the Great Peninsula - perhaps the Humber River.

The mountains he saw returning from the River were the same mountains he had seen from Hop and Straumfjord. They were the Long Range Mountains.

After one more winter he and Gudrid returned to Greenland with their son.
