This is a map I made about a year back after encountering Hamilton Inlet and the associated Lake Melville on a map. It looked like the sort of place a medieval Norseman might call home, and when I checked it’s climate was actually nicer than the one around the real Greenland settlements.

In this alternate history it was settled and managed to survive until European fishermen arrived in the area in the 1400s. With closer connections to across the Atlantic after that, it then carried on down to the modern day, a bit like Iceland but not as populous.

Its look was inspired by the National Geographic infographic maps of the 70s and 80s.
