Bjarmaland

Bjarmaland (Biarmia) as illustrated in the Carta marina (1539) by Olaus Magnus

Bjarmaland (also spelled Bjarmland and Bjarmia)[a] was a territory mentioned in Norse sagas from the Viking Age and in geographical accounts until the 16th century. The term is usually understood to have referred to the southern shores of the White Sea and to the basin of the Northern Dvina River (Vienanjoki in Finnish) as well as, presumably, to some of the surrounding areas. Today, those territories comprise a part of the Arkhangelsk Oblast of Russia, as well as the Kola Peninsula.
