From Abraham Ortelius. Theatrum orbis terrarium.
Published in Antwerp in 1590.
It also helpfully points out where the sea-monsters live (or like to party).
Iceland is an island that is mostly made out of water (frozen water).
Floating on the water.
And the rest is volcanic rock.
The winter weather in Reykjavik is basically the same as New York City's.
Sometimes it's even milder.
It just doesn't get very warm in the summer (60s usually).
It is not in the Arctic Circle, as most believe.
If you dodn't believe me, go look again at your globe.
So you won't see narwhals.
They hang out much further north.
They only see humans once in their lifetimes, if that.
Some consider them lucky.
