	Rupes Nigra
		It shows the 4 Polar Islands, with "Gronland" on the lower left, and the "Rupes Nigra" shown twice, once at the pole, and again at the top of the map.
		In the 1300's, many believed that the Polar Region was 4 large islands with a polar sea in the middle.
		The "Rupes Nigra" was magnetic, and was what compasses pointed to (magnetic north.)

		It was believed at that time that in the center of those 4 islands was a huge fl rock, Rupes Nigra, they called it.The rock was said to be 33 miles wide.
		It was said to be a lodestone and that because of the magnetic properties of the stone, compasses point to it(north).
		Edit-- these islands were considered septentrional because of their relation to the constellation Ursa Major, which we also see in the sky on the show.

		Hinc atque hinc vastae rupes geminique minantur in caelum scopuli, quorum sub vertice late aequora tuta silent; tum silvis scaena coruscis desuper horrentique atrum nemus imminet umbra.
		Rursum in secessu longo sub rupe cavata, arboribus clausi circum atque horrentibus umbris, instruimus mensas arisque reponimus ignem: rursum ex diverso caeli caecisque latebris turba sonans praedam pedibus circumvolat uncis, polluit ore dapes.
		Invadunt socii, et nova proelia temptant, obscenas pelagi ferro foedare volucres: sed neque vim plumis ullam nec volnera tergo accipiunt, celerique fuga sub sidera lapsae semesam praedam et vestigia foeda relinquunt.

		Tum vero in numerum Faunosque ferasque videres ludere, tum rigidas motare cacumina quercus; nec tantum Phoebo gaudet Parnasia rupes, nec tantum Rhodope miratur et Ismarus Orphea.

		Certe, sive mihi Phillis, sive esset Amyntas, seu quicumque furor---quid tum, si fuscus Amyntas; et nigrae violae sunt et vaccinia nigra--- mecum inter salices lenta sub vite iaceret; serta mihi Phyllis legeret, cantaret Amyntas.

		Symplegades autem duae erant rupes ingenti magnitudine, quae a Iove positae erant eo consilio, ne quis ad Colchida perveniret.
		Hae parvo intervallo in mari natabant, et si quid in medium spatium venerat, incredibili celeritate concurrebant.
		Tum rupes utrimque discesserunt; antequam tamen rursus concurrerent, Argonautae, bene intellegentes omnem spem salutis in celeritate positam esse, summa vi remis contenderunt et navem incolumem perduxerunt.

		But at the same time at its heart this map remains essentially Mediaeval.
		At the North Pole stands a majestic though mythical mountain named Rupes Nigra or Black Precipice.
		This mountain, said to be more than 183 km across and high enough to reach the sky, was made of fl magnetic material which could irresistibly attract the nails and other steel parts of sailing ships.

		Itaque non solum ea ratio est probandi arietis, si vellere candido vestitur, sed etiam si palatum atque lingua concolor lanae est, nam cum eae corporis partes nigrae aut maculosae sunt, pulla vel etiam varia nascitur proles, idque inter cetera eximie talibus numeris significavit idem qui supra:
