Influences
In early times, the far north was imagined as a place lying between the worlds of spirits and creatures. Thule was a land beyond the reach of humans, a place entwined with the outlandish - unipeds, the seven sleepers, a great whirlpool at the Pole, the ocean's navel - a place between the realms of Gods and men. One of the first recorded sea journeys in the Atlantic was by Pytheas of Massalia. Pytheas visited Britian, where tin was traded, and possibly Ireland, the Hebrides, and the Orkneys. Then he went to "Thule" which was described as the outermost of all countries, where the night was very short - 2 or 3 hours long.
