 "Thule" () was a land located by Greco-Roman geographers in the farthest north (often displayed as Iceland).The Latin term "Ultima Thule" is also mentioned by Roman poet Virgil in his pastoral poems called the "Georgics".Thule originally was probably the name for Scandinavia, although Virgil simply uses it as a proverbial expression for the edge of the known world, and his mention should not be taken as a substantial reference to Scandinavia.
