Snow-covered country Byarmaland in the Scandinavian sagas!
In the traditions of the Scandinavians and Slavs, the inhabitants of the Far North - the Saami and the Finno-Ugrians - were famous as sorcerers and shamans. In the Scandinavian sagas, the White Sea was called Gandwick-Gulf. The "History of Norway" (XII century) tells how the Vikings from Iceland were thrown back by the storm beyond the known northern lands of Karelians, Kven and "horned Finns" (Saami) into the "winter lands" between Greenland and Biarmia.
