Unless anybody, feel free to tell me I'm wrong. Well, so here's the interesting thing. The place they call Streamfjord or Streamfirth is described as a place, as an island, where the currents on either side are particularly... Yeah, I saw that too, and I have questions. If you want to show them what you're looking at currently. Yeah, yeah, yeah, hang on, let me... Because I... Huh?

There's a as I'm looking around at stuff. There's just a weirdly circular River in Canada Let's see if there's anything about that on on the internet actually Probably best to bring it up on my own maps really quick Also, would you guys want me to like make some of the maps we've used for this stuff shareable because I can I? But yeah, okay. Rene Lavasseur Island.

It's said to have been caused by the impact of an asteroid.

But you would think it would be a lake. Not that. Maybe that's Atlantis. Maybe. Should we go digging? It's beyond the Pillars of Heracles, that's for sure. It's way beyond the Pillars of Heracles. Go satellite view.

Yeah, it says the impact of the asteroid formed a crater roughly 100 kilometers in diameter, the center of which forms the island known today. And it became an artificial island when the Manicougan Reservoir was flooded in 1970, merging two crescent-shaped lakes. So there were two crescent-shaped lakes around it. But still, why is it not a depression?

You're sailing up one of those rivers, and you just start going in a circle. Yeah. And you're like, huh. Oh, you'd lose your mind. This island is perfectly circular. Yeah. It's just a weird spot. I don't know. And I'm trying... I'm going to have to go ahead and put this all on the map because I'm really struggling. But I am coming to the conclusion that there's got to be multiple Vinlands.
