Thule (; Greek: , Thoúl; Latin: Thule, Tile) was the place located furthest north, which was mentioned in ancient Greek and Roman literature and cartography. * In classical and medieval literature, ultima Thule (Latin "furthermost Thule") acquired a metaphorical meaning of any distant place located beyond the "borders of the known world".By the late middle ages and early modern era, the Greco-Roman Thule was often identified with the real Iceland or Greenland. Sometimes Ultima Thule was a Latin name for Greenland, when Thule was used for Iceland. By the late 19th century, however, Thule was frequently identified with Norway.In 1910, the explorer Knud Rasmussen established a missionary and trading post, which he named Thule (later Qaanaaq), on Greenland. * Modern interpretations of the ancient Greek and Roman place name have included Orkney, Shetland, the island of Saaremaa (Osel) in Estonia, and the Norwegian island of Smøla. |
