Herjolfsfjord : ウィキペディア英語版 | Herjolfsfjord Herjolfsfjord was the Norse name of a fjord in Greenland where one of the major Norse homesteads was located. The fjord is approximately 50 km northwest of Cape Farewell and is now called Narssap Sarqa. == Norse period == The name Herjolfsfjord was in honour of Herjolf Bardsson, one of the founding chieftains of the Norse colony in Greenland established circa 985 AD, as recounted in the Greenlanders Saga 〔https://notendur.hi.is/haukurth/utgafa/greenlanders.html〕 and The Landnámabók.〔https://ia601406.us.archive.org/29/items/booksettlementi00ellwgoog/booksettlementi00ellwgoog.pdf〕 Herjolf's homestead, Herjolfsnes, was located on the western shoreline of the fjord's end, facing the open ocean. The other chieftains favoured the heads of fjords, inland and away from the ocean, where farming conditions were better, which suggests that Herjolf was more interested in establishing a port-of-call than farming.〔Farley Mowat, ''Westviking'' (Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1965), pg. 84-5〕 Herjolfsfjord was the southern- and easternmost extent of major Norse homesteading in Greenland. There were 8 other smaller Norse sites on the fjord, about half on each side.
