"This detail from de Bry's map is a good example of legend fused with exploration. The Davis Strait was explored in the period 1585-87 & its name represents new knowledge. (1/n)

[Theodor de Bry, 1601, Deliniatio cartae trium navigationum, courtesy of the University of Tromsø]"

To the left of the text and the whale are three islands, between which is the Davis Strait. The tree islands are Estotiland to the north, Grocland to the east, and Greenland to the south."
