Talk:Erik the Red's Land

message: According to this the Norwegian claim was also known as Ny-Sunnmøre, perhaps modelled after Ny-Ålesund. Any details on this? // Big Adamsky  • BA's talk page 10:58, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well if someone from Sunnmøre was involved I wouldn't be surprised if they named the territory after themselves:). But I have never seen that name used anywhere. Maybe one of the setlements had that name, but not the entire territory I think. I have no sources to back me up, but Eirik Raudes Land is the only name I've seen.Inge 11:08, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have any information on the former Norwegian polar posessions in Canada? I know many parts of northern Canada were blank spots on the map until they were explored and annexed by Norwegian polar explorers in th 1920s and 1930s (I think those are the right decades). The annexation was however shortlived and the areas sold/given to Canada.Inge 10:50, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: They are called Sverdrup Islands. Inge 10:47, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I know, the Norwegian government never supported these annexations, they were made by the Norwegian polar explorers on their own initiative, but as the Norwegian government didn't accept them, they had no effect.--Barend (talk) 23:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Most of the oldest part of the history section does not belong here. The old Norse colonies in Greenland were in fact nowhere near Erik the Red's Land, so it doesn't make sense to have a detailed description of them here. That belongs in the Greenland-article.--Barend (talk) 23:42, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: History section - much should be removed

message: This map (erroneously) places all the Viking settlements along the east coast of Greenland, in distinction from the Danish settlements on the west coast. When did it become obvious that the saga locations were on the southwest coast as well? Did it affect these claims? — LlywelynII 16:22, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
