	Northvegr - Rydberg's Teutonic Mythology
		Gandvik was a purely mythological-geographical name before it became the name of the White Sea in a late Christian time, when the sea between Greenland and America got the mythic name Ginnungagap.
		The last strophe in Þórsdrápa calls the giants slain by the Gandvik champions "Alfheim's calves," Alfheim's cattle to be slaughtered, and this seems to indicate that these champions belong to the third and lowest of those clans into which the divinities of the Teutonic mythology are divided, that is, the elves.
		The Gandvik champion who rescues himself on Thor's shoulders, while the rest of them hold fast to his girdle, is a celebrated archer, and so well known to the hearers of Þórsdrápa, that it was not necessary to mention him by name in order to make it clear who he was.

	Gandvik - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Norse mythology, Gandvik is a dangerous sea, known as 'Bay of Serpents' because of its tortuous shape.
		Saxo Grammaticus stated that Gandvik was an old name for the Baltic Sea (a name misspelt Grandvik in some translations).
		However, there are two opposite theories about where Gandvik was situated, based on the peace treaty in Nöteborg 1323: in the Arctic Ocean or the Gulf of Bothnia.

		Igitur inter "Gandwicum" et meridianum pelagus breve continentis spatium patet, maria utrimquesecus allapsa prospectans; quod nisi rerum natura limitis loco congressis paene fluctibus obiecisset, Suetiam Norvagiamque conflui fretorum aestus in insulam redegissent.
		"Gandvik" is a well-known in Norse "legendary geography", and usually considered to be the White Sea (not the Baltic Sea, but Saxo might have been cutting corners, or misremembering, and this is legendary geography anyway).
		Perhaps we should rename it "Gandvik" in the text, if "Grandvik" seems to be a typo.

		Only a stone's throw from the most expensive address in Sweden, Strandvägen in the exclusive Stockholm suburb of Djursholm, a street where several billionaires have their houses, you will find the top class condominium for elderly people, Gandvik.
		The proper address of Gandvik is not Strandvägen, but that really doesn't that matter when the view of the sea is the same through the well-kept park which goes all the way down to Strandvägen by the sea.
		Gandvik is the place where the old and rich, that once were able to keep up the large villas in the Djursholm area, move when they need something more modern, more easy to keep in shape and somewhere where they directly can get the extra services that elderly people need.

		Geirrod is in reality the name of a giant, and the giant is in the myth a being who brings hail and frost.
		He dwells in the uttermost North, beyond the mythical Gandvik (Thorsdrapa, 2), and as a mythical winter symbol he corresponds to king Snö in Saxo.
		His "stinginess of food when too many guests come" seems to point to lack of food caused by the unfavourable weather, which necessitated emigrations, when the country became over-populated.

		Thorer and his people, on the other hand, did not get on so quickly, as their vessel was heavier to manage; so that when they got under sail, Karle and his people were far off from land.
		Both vessels sailed across the White sea (Gandvik).
		The nights were clear, so that both ships sailed night and day; until one day, towards the time the day turns to shorten, Karle and his people took up the land near an island, let down the sail, cast anchor, and waited until the slack-tide set in, for there was a strong rost before them.
