Is there any evidence of a Viking journey around the North of Greenland? Even during the much warmer temperatures prevalent in medieval times? I'm reasonably certain their settlements were all in the southern part.

I take the lake with a wide river entrance to be Hudson Bay, which is a possibility, but I am unaware of any record hinting at it in the Sagas.

I'm wondering about the north of Greenland too.

But it looks like the "north coast" could just be
an artificial truncation like the "west cosat" of
America. In that case, the map just represents the
southern tip of Greenland.

Nah....not Hudson Bay. Everybody knows they came up Narragansett Bay, Mt Hope Bay, and landed in Fall River....which is why they left and never came back.

This map shows Greenland to be an island. Greenland, however, was not known to be an island until several centuries after this map was alleged to have been created.
