He sailed on and reached the Baffin Island. Since it had a rocky cost and had little forest he named it Helluland, which means stony land. The third and most beautiful land he found was Newfoundland. Vin' is a Nordic word for Wine. More likely is that he named it Vinland after an old Nordic name for grass or field.
Some theories say that the Vikings went further, Maybe as far as to Minnesota.
The Vikings may have continued to travel to Vinland. For a long time there were great discussions whether the Vikings had reached America or not. There were only weak proofs like old legends and an Indian arrowhead found on the coast of Greenland. Not until the remains of Leif Erikssons base-camp had been found in 1960 all doubts were removed.
