Siglufjord

Siglufjord was a fjord of Greenland's Norse Eastern Settlement, mentioned in the Book of Settlements. It lay among the southern fjords, near the district of Vatnahverfi and Einarsfjord. Farms and churches stood along these sheltered arms of the sea, where settlers could keep livestock and travel by boat between communities. The Norse names preserved in written accounts recall a landscape of valleys, islands and waterways at the edge of Greenland's ice.
