Straumfjörð Icelandic),〔http://www.snerpa.is/net/isl/eirik.htm〕 or Straumfjǫrð (Old Norse) sometimes anglisised to Straumsfjordr,〔http://sagadb.org/eiriks_saga_rauda.en〕 Straumfjordr, Straumsfjord or Straumfjord, is according to the Sagas of Icelanders a fjord in Vinland where Þorfinnr "Karlsefni" Þórðarson set up a temporary settlement. It is described in the ''Saga of Erik the Red'', but not in the ''Greenland saga''. Its name translates to "Current-fjord", "Stream-fjord" or "Tide-fjord".〔http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/straumr#Old_Norse〕 Two somewhat different versions of the travels of Karlsefni appear in the sagas; they are found in the ''Hauksbók'' and the ''Flateyjarbók''.〔The Vinland Problem through Four Centuries William Stetson Merrill The Catholic Historical Review Vol. 21, No. 1 (Apr., 1935), pp. 21-48 Published by: Catholic University of America Press Article Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/25013345〕 They tell that ''Straumsey'' (Current-isle) lies at the mouth of Straumfjörð; this is an island with an extreme density of birds. The whereabouts of Straumfjörð has been, and is, subject to intense speculation. == Location == The exact location of Straumfjörð is disputed. The only Norse settlement which has been recovered in North America beyond Greenland is located on L'Anse aux Meadows. According to the ''Saga of Erik the Red'' the location is significantly south of Markland. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Straumfjörð」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
