The attempt to reestablish contact with the Greenlanders will be a failure. But in that time, explorers often went whereever fancy struck them (just look at Henry Hudson), so I can easily imagine the expedition going on from Greenland to baffinland and into Hudson Bay just in order to find anything valuable - and they will probably think that it is the way to the Pacific and the riches of China and India. The hardest part will be convincing Copenhagen that they actually found areas of potential value.
One area in South America that is often overlooked in Ah is the greater Platine area - it isn't inherently valuable, but among others, the Dutch used the route called wagenspoor:
They didn't cling to the African coast, but crossed the Atlantic from Cape Verde to Cabo Branco, followed the Brazilian Coast to the South until near the Plate River and then went straight eastward using the Roaring Forties, stopping at the Cape Colony ant than going towards New Holland and only then swinging northward to the Indies.
A Dutch farming/ranching colony in the Platine or Patagonian area as place for reprovisioning would be rather useful. Perhaps it begins as a base for the search after the City of the Caesars.
