Information
has glosseng: Gunnbjörn's skerries (Gunnbjarnarsker) were a group of small skerries lying close between Iceland and Greenland, discovered by Gunnbjörn Ulfsson in the 9th century. They became a popular stopover for ships traveling to Greenland and a brief attempt to set up a colony was made about 970. Snaebjörn Galti visited around 978. A later attempt succeeded and by 1391 there were 18 farms on the islands. Apparently in 1456, according to Ruysch, the islands "completely burned up" and sank.
