Naddodd

Naddodd (Old Norse: Naddoðr [ˈnɑdːoðr] or Naddaðr [ˈnɑdːɑðr]; Icelandic: Naddoður [ˈnatːɔːðʏr̥]; Faroese: Naddoddur; fl.

Naddodd came upon the shore of a land with a bay and mountains near what is today the Icelandic town of Reyðarfjörður.

[3] Although he climbed a mountain to look for smoke rising from fireplaces, he saw no sign of human activity.

Naddodd decided to continue his journey to the Faroe Islands, but as he returned to his boat, it started to snow, so he named the land Snowland (Snæland).

Naddodd was distantly related to Erik the Red and his son, Leif Erikson.
