  "Section from a map of the North Atlantic, showing Iceland (written as Thule) and part of Greenland. In the triangular space between these two landmasses is a heavily stylised whale, which looks more like a mixture of dog and fish. Along the coast of Greenland, the area is marked "mare congelatum", the frozen sea."
