BeskrivelseSkálholt map 1690 copy (cropped).png
The Skálholt map, drawn by Icelandic teacher Sigurd Stefánsson, combines elements of the sagas of Icelanders with more recent knowledge of the North Atlantic.
Moving counter-clockwise around the Atlantic from the top-right corner, the Latinized Norse placenames and their modern English equivalents are:
Jotun-heimar (Jötunheimr)
Riseland (Land of the Risi)
Grönlandia (Greenland)
Helleland (Helluland)
Markland
Skrælinge Land (Land of the Skræling)
Promontorium Winlandiæ (Promontory of Vinland)
Irland (Ireland)
Britanni (Britain)
Orcades (Orkney)
Hetland (Shetland)
Feröe (Faroe Islands)
Norvegia (Norway)
Biarmaland (Bjarmaland)
The three islands in the Mare Glaciale are from top to bottom:
Narve Öe (Island of Narfi)
Islánd (Iceland)
Frisland
The moutain on Greenland is labelled Huidserk (Hvitserk), and a ford on Greenland is labelled Heriolfsnes (Herjolfsnes).
The central caption reads, Siurdi Stephanii terrarúm hÿperborearũ delineatio - Año 1579.
Several areas are labelled with the letters A to H. For an annotated version of the full page containing notes A to H, see File:Skálholt Map.jpg.
