Bjarni was only interested in finding his father's farm, but he described his discovery to Leif Erikson who explored the area in more detail and planted a small settlement fifteen years later.
Bjarni, kes oli ainult huvitatud oma isa talu leidmisest, kirjeldas oma avastust Leifr Eiríkssonile, kes seejärel piirkonda täpsemalt uuris ning sinna ka viisteist aastat hiljem väikese asunduse rajas.
