Early records and evidence suggest that the wolves in western Greenland migrated there from Baffin Island and are, thus, descendants of the Baffin Island wolf subspecies.

Baffin Island wolf The Baffin Island wolf ("Canis lupus manningi"), also known as the Baffin Island tundra wolf, is a subspecies of gray wolf which resides
Disko Island of Qeqertarsuaq. The island is separated from Nuussuaq Peninsula in the northeast by the Sullorsuaq Strait. To the south of the island lies Disko Bay, an inlet bay of Baffin Island. Eric the Red paid the first recorded visit to Disko Island at some time between 982 and 985; the island was used as a base for summer hunting and fishing by Viking colonists.
