I was about to say, pretty sure Greenland and its black gravel craglands were fully uninhabited before Danish explorers and exiles showed up.
The first nation folks were at most using canoes and hollowed-out logs, but they certainly weren't crossing the oceans, not even the water between the coast and the island.
Correct, those waters are full of large blocks of ice and high waves. Small canoes would have no chance and even inuits can't survive falling into ice cold water. The Danish Vikings had reasonably big ships that could travel across the ocean. They were also first in US and Canada. Even if they never built a lasting settlement there.
