Iviangersook Travelled All Around the Coast of Greenland. He started for the south, and having passed Cape Farewell, he came on the eastward to some light-haired people of European complexion; and lastly he returned through the Sound, which was formerly open from east to west, near Ilulissat (Jakobshavn). When approaching his home near Godthaab he lost his brother, who was buried upon a small island, after them named Uviarniak (one who travelled all around). |
Of this tale only the principal parts have been selected, and are given here in a very fragmentary form. |
