	Strange Horizons Articles: Arctic Fabulous: Speculative Fiction and the Imaginary Arctic, by Siobhan Carroll
		From a twenty-first century perspective, what is surprising about the accounts of sixteenth century Arctic explorers is not that they believed the Arctic was a magical landscape, but that their beliefs have persisted for so long.
		In addition to tropical lands of plenty, the Arctic was soon known as the land of pygmies, and had a coastline plagued by giant whirlpools.
		Although much of the Arctic's romance is now overshadowed by the even more remote (and therefore even more mysterious) regions of space, the Arctic provides not only an earth-based location for speculative plotting, but a well-established tradition for authors to draw upon.

	The Arctic Circle Monument - Hurtigruten In Pictures
		When you pass the Arctic Circle - around 07.20 in the morning (Summer Daylight Savings Time) going North - the horn is blown at the time you pass an island which is just South of the Arctic Circle.
		In reality, the Arctic Circle is crossed 2 kilometers or just over a mile North of this location, at the South end of the island Sundøya.
		This has been discussed with the captain of one of the Hurtigruten ships who acknowledged this, and said that it was because the location with the island with a globe on it and the Hestmonøya behind it looks better on photos than the real thing, so they stick to the deception.

	Koryak - Arctic Studies Center

		About 80 percent of those episodes have parallels in the mythology of the Northwest Coast indigenous peoples.

		However, Fundinn Nóregr, dating from the former part of the 13th century, is by most opinions referring to the White Sea when it uses the term Gandvik.

		And while history recognizes Sir John Franklin as being among the patriarchs of early Arctic exploration, one of his Lieutenants, George Back, also held a key role in mapping the far north.
		In The Man Who Mapped The Arctic, Peter Steele presents Back as a northern antihero: abrasive, dismissive, cocky and manipulative, but possessing the adventurer’s soul.
		This journey would turn out to be a pyrrhic victory for Franklin and Back: valuable mapping and insights were made of the Arctic landscape, but starvation, cannibalism and murder claimed over half of the crew.
