Map of Norse Myth
The nine worlds of the myth do not fall on a real map, but the belief and sagas of the Viking Age have real coordinates: the blood-sacrifice temple of Gamla Uppsala, the raid on Lindisfarne, the royal hall of Lejre. Tap a marker for the story, tap the legend to filter by story line.

The places that cannot be mapped: Asgard, Midgard, Jötunheim, and the other nine worlds — the Norse cosmos deliberately sets them among the branches of the World Tree Yggdrasil, not on the earth’s surface. The coastline data is shared with "European History" (Natural Earth, longitude -11° to 63°, latitude 30° to 71°); place coordinates use standard identifications from Viking-Age archaeology and the sources.
