The location, indicated by two ships and the French name <i>Port d'hyver de Munck</i>, is placed about five degrees too far north, an error that following mapmakers would perpetuate for decades. The name of the surrounding region, <i>Nouveau Danemarc</i> ("New Denmark"), is the French translation of <i>Nova Dania</i>, the name given by Munk in his voyage account of 1624 (see <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jens_Munk_voyage_account_(Navigatio_Septentrionalis,_1624)_-_1_title_page.png" title="File:Jens Munk voyage account (Navigatio Septentrionalis, 1624) - 1 title page.png">title page</a>), but which he did not put on the <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jens_Munk_voyage_account_(Navigatio_Septentrionalis,_1624)_-_3_fig_2_-_map_of_Hudson_Strait_and_Hudson_Bay.png" title="File:Jens Munk voyage account (Navigatio Septentrionalis, 1624) - 3 fig 2 - map of Hudson Strait and Hudson Bay.png">accompanying map</a>. Following La Peyrère, the name would be found on many maps, translated into various languages, but it never came in general use and became obsolete during the 18th century.
