Törrfjord

This location is mentioned in the following paragraphs:

(§669) The Lapps come to TÖRRFJORD to buy schnaps. First they drank as long as they could stand, then they blew up the dried reindeer bladders they had with them, filled them with schnaps, tied them up and carried them off. They also have small cups, about 1/3 the size of a spoon, and they drink one after another of these, often as much as half a pint.

(§675) There were high mountains with snow on them all around Törrfjord and grey-black clouds were rising from the earth here and there between their tops. But both the tops and the bottoms of the hills could be seen. Eventually the clouds subsided.

(§682) 14th. In the evening we arrived at the manse of Mr. Joh. Rasch, assistant pastor at Rorstad.2 He has been in the West Indies and Africa. He has also written a fine description of his journey as well as of various fish and plants. Gave me an honest welcome. I left him in the morning and travelled back to Törrfjord with the skipper. I now saw the full expanse of the Western Ocean and was told that if one were to travel due west one would come to Greenland.
