Wonderstrands
Wonderstrands refers to the Furðustrandir, a stretch of coastline mentioned in the Icelandic ''Eiríks saga'', relating the deeds of Erik the Red. It was reported to be located north of ''Straumfjörð'' and south of ''Kjalarnes'' promontory.
Some believe that it refers to the extended beaches located on the coast of Labrador, province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.〔Labrador Costal Drive (Cartwright and local attractions ) accessed 13-March-2008〕 In ''The Vinland Sagas and the Actual Characteristics of Eastern Canada'', Swedish archaeologist Mats G. Larsson references philologist Jan Paul Strid and puts forward that a more modern translation of Furðustrandir and examination of the sagas may put the Wonderstrands between Gabarus Bay and St. Peter’s Bay, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.〔(''The Vinland Sagas and the Actual Characteristics of Eastern Canada'' ), accessed 4-June-2009.〕
==The name==
The first element in the Norse name is the genitive form of ''furða'' “wonder, astonishment”; the adjective ''furðuligr'' has the meaning “strange”. This word is not used or found in other place names from Norse times.
