The map was drawn using information on place names and outlines of the country provided by the Icelandic bishop Guðbrandur Þorláksson (1541-1627). On the back of the map the various sea monsters around Iceland are briefly explained. Many of them are given Icelandic names, such as Hroshualur (G) (Horse whale) and Seenaut (K) (Sea cow), which belong to Icelandic folklore.
