Summary[edit]

Description
English: Map showing principal places mentioned in Ohthere of Hålogaland's account of his travels, as given to King Alfred of Wessex around 890 AD: note that "White Sea" indicates the general location of the land of the Beormas, which may have lain on either the eastern or the western side of the White Sea; that Skíringssalr, a historical location near Larvik, has commonly been assumed to be the location of the Sciringes heal mentioned by Ohthere, but that this is disputed in favour of a location slightly west of Lindesnes, at the southern tip of modern Norway; that opinion is divided over whether Ohthere's account originally referred to Ireland or Iceland; and that political boundaries shown on this map are modern, having no bearing on the status quo at the time of Ohthere's travels.
