What physical features did the vikings see when they arrived in Canada and Greenland?

When they first saw Canada they saw Flat and Rocky so they called it Helluland, likely Baffin Island. Then they sailed south and saw a land with many Trees so they called it Markland, likely Labrador. They continued south and found a lovely valley with many grapes so they named it Vinland. Likely Newfoundland. Obviously the climate was much warmer than today because Newfoundland is not nearly as warm these days.

As for Greenland, I believe they saw the lush green valleys they eventually settled in, and since there were no one there before them they became the Indigenous or Aboriginals, the First Nations, of Greenland.
