Thorkell Farserk
Thorkell Farserk was a shipmate and relative of Erik the Red. He settled Hvalsey, Greenland, where he started a farmstead. According to the medieval Icelandic Landnámabók, Farserk was very strong. He once swam to Hvalsey for an ox, bringing it back on his back to entertain Erik the Red. When he died, he was laid to rest in Hvalsey.
