What is Thule?
'''Thule''' is the name of the island which [[Pytheas]], the ancient Greek explorer, discovered in the fourth century B.C. Pytheas reported that this island was located in the north of Britain. So it is believed that Thule is probably [[Iceland]] or the [[Shetland Islands]] or the [[Faroe Islands]] or the coasts of [[Norway]]. Today, a village in the north of [[Greenland]] is called Thule which is also called Qaanaaq. == Related pages == *[[279 Thule]] {{geo-stub}} [[Category:Arctic]] [[Category:Iceland]]
